What an incredible day we had at Stubbers Adventure Centre, with more than 60 LFWBD members coming together for a fun-filled day of adventure, laughter and friendship.
This fantastic event was only possible thanks to the amazing work of our wonderful Admin Manager, Steph, who discovered the opportunity, applied for funding and successfully secured a grant from The Spark Foundation. Her hard work enabled our families to enjoy an unforgettable day together, with every activity, lunch and even ice creams fully funded.
Throughout the day, our members challenged themselves to a whole range of exciting activities including archery, bushcraft, climbing and canoeing. Whether it was reaching the top of the climbing wall, hitting the target in archery or paddling across the water (which was certainly refreshing when we all decide to jump in for a swim!), everyone embraced the opportunity to try something new.
The sunny weather made the day even more special. It was wonderful to see familiar faces catching up, new friendships being formed and children, young people and adults encouraging one another every step of the way.
After working up an appetite, everyone enjoyed delicious pizzas for lunch before finishing the day with a well-earned ice cream – the perfect ending to a fantastic event.
At LFWBD, we know that some of the best memories are made when families have the opportunity to step outside their comfort zone, try new experiences and spend time with people who truly understand life with a bleeding disorder. Days like this strengthen our community and remind us just how special it is to belong.
A huge thank you to Steph for making this event happen and to The Spark Foundation (STEPH IS THIS RIGHT – IS THERE A LINK?) for their generous support. Without funding like this, opportunities such as these simply wouldn’t be possible.
