Trudy Crowley Foundation

Ovarian cancer is a silent killer, often going undetected.

The Trudy Crowley Foundation was created to alleviate the suffering of those both directly and indirectly impacted by ovarian cancer. We aim to expose this silent killer, by raising awareness and vital funds – and connecting people with the right information, support services and resources during this difficult time.

The Trudy Crowley Foundation ensures no woman, child, partner, or friend feels alone.

Trudy’s dream of ensuring that those affected by cancer in our community would have dedicated support and care is now a reality. For example – our nurse, Rosie, provides the Mackay and Whitsunday regions with a new level of service, care, support and assistance to our beautiful patients, and their families. Our aim is to look after our patients holistically, so alongside nurse Rosie providing clinical support is Rebecca – from Breakthrough Counselling and Support Services. This, we can proudly say, is the only service of its kind in Australia.

Sonya Brazil

This event was Sonya’s first Triathlon. An avid swimmer and runner, she decided to give Triathlon a go, and after falling in love with the sport, she went on to compete in other Mackay events. Sonya’s whole family makes the trip from all over QLD to remember Sonya and this race has been a memorial to her since 2000 after Sonya died unexpectedly in 1999 whilst on her quest to become fit and active.

There’s a common misconception that triathlon is a sport for elite athletes. But just as there are elite tennis players and regular neighborhood tennis players, so too there are elite triathletes and everyday social participants. Whichever category you are in – or aspire to be in – triathlon participation offers a range of benefits

You may be an existing athlete, or merely an aspiring one. Perhaps you’re a strong swimmer or cyclist looking to diversify? Or maybe you’re someone who just wants to get more active whilst spending time in the great outdoors?

Regardless of your level of fitness and where you’re starting from, you’ll find triathlon to be incredibly rewarding – and you’ll be surrounded by a community of people who will welcome, inspire, and motivate you.

One of our key goals at this event is to create welcoming entry points for people of all ages and abilities, so they can enjoy lifelong participation in our amazing sport.

So come on , give it a Tri!!
