We're excited to be joining Hervey Bay Parkrun for our March Brain Net STEP OUT - you can walk it, jog it, volunteer or cheer it on!
If you’re recovering from an acquired brain injury (ABI), this is for you, and family and friends are warmly invited to this one too!
No skills needed, just comfy shoes, and if you love a dress-up moment, go for it!
Challenge yourself to a few steps or the full 5km along the esplanade. If you're less mobile and would prefer to help - volunteer to scan barcodes, take photos, or direct walkers (all shown to you prior by the friendly volunteers who will be there for a chat and backing you up if needed). It’s a great welcoming group and we’re excited to be part of it for Brain Awareness Week.
Step Outs are about stretching yourself, so here are some of the gentle challenges likely to experience -
⏰ Early start – 6.30am for volunteers. Everyone else ready by 6.45am. These times are set - we can’t join late.
👟 Lots of people – we’ll begin at the back with the walkers, unless you're up for a jog where you can join the pack.
🪑 We’ll claim a picnic table near the Urangan pier and start line, so you’ve got a place to rest, reset, or just watch - look out for the sunflower table cloths.
*Please RSVP by 16 March, particularly if you would like to volunteer as we need to set you up.
*Bring $2, a spare sock in your pocket, and please be on time.
What’s a Step Out?
For those with acquired brain injuries to try something new, meet new people, build confidence, give back, and create space for family members to connect too.
Want to sponsor a Step Out?
Local groups and businesses make these possible. If you’d like to help remove barriers for people recovering from brain injury, we’d love to hear from you.
A big thank you to Hervey Bay Parkrun for supporting this STEP OUT.
This month is about stepping forward together. So come along no matter where you're at, and keep the momentum - keep moving forward.
