WALKERS raised more than $23,000 tackling the MG Arrow Experience for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation in July this year.
More than 75 participants put their best feet forward on the popular walking tracks to raise funds through the second Arrow Experience for the Cairns Hospital emergency department.
Foundation fundraising and event coordinator Annette Jarrett said they were confident they would reach the target funds.
The fastest time for the long course was recorded by Cairns Hospital senior gerentologist Dr Edward Strivens, at around two hours.
Hospital administration worker Kerrie Pretty did the Arrows for the first time with her daughter Talitha, 12.
“It was a lot of fun, and the views were gorgeous,” she said.
Top individual fundraisers were Janelle McClure at $839, Tristana Brougham at $681 and Wendy Tisbury at $550. Top team fundraisers were Train with Elaine at $1444, Hot Soles at $945 and JenWen with $925.
The 2019 event raised a total of $42, 082.
The 2020 event will be held on May 17. Registrations open in the new year.
