Sometimes you meet a driven couple. So it was on Friday when Chris and Kirsty met with th club and spoke to us about their passion in life " Bamboo Projects".
It's probably best known for their achievements in getting the "wheelchair boat" that many of us will have seen on Mooloolaba river. But Chris and Kirsty continue to give up much of their lives continuing to try to make other peoples better.
On Friday they spoke to us of their difficulties in fund raising and frustration in not being able to deliver life changing resources to those in need.
Chris is particularly passionate about mental health, coming from his personal experiences and so has decided to stage a massive fund raising venture by running round Australia to attract attention to Mental Health and disability issues. We'll be encouraging other Rotary listen to Chris and Kirsty's story and maybe help them with their efforts.

This boat is a fantastic achievement due to Chris and Kirsty's determination to deliver a facility here on the Sunshine Coast. They collected over 8,500 signatures, and yet without the help of Chris and his mates, and local SCC help, this boat and the help it gives to disabled kids would not exist.
Now Chris and Kirsty are looking for your support to help maintain and grow the support that they want to give to those suffering from mental health, depression, and the associated issues too common, (but sometimes hidden) in our community on the coast.
