Josie Potter … aiming to ride again in 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 28, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have an urge to dress up in red – and then run a half marathon – then Inverlaw will be the place to be on Sunday, June 8.<\/p>\n

If you’re not that keen … how about a leisurely stroll for either 7.5km, 13km or 21.2km?<\/p>\n

The “Inverlaw Walk for MS”, organised by the Kingaroy Cruisers cycle team, aims to raise much-needed funds for Multiple Sclerosis Queensland.<\/p>\n

The event will be held at “Glenhye” at 1466 Kingaroy-Burrandowan Road.<\/p>\n

Participants are urged to dress in their brightest red exercise gear – or don novelty red attire – to show their support for MS sufferers.<\/p>\n

Cost to enter is $15.00 (standard entry) or $10 for a fund-raising entry (sponsorship forms are available).<\/p>\n

There are three distances – each of which can be completed either as a run or a walk.<\/p>\n

There will be staggered starting times from 6:30am (for the half-marathon walkers) to 10:00am (for the 7.5km runners).<\/p>\n

The event has been organised by Kingaroy woman Josie Potter, who was diagnosed with MS in 2000.<\/p>\n

Since then she has participated in three Brissie to the Bay Bike Rides with her Kingaroy Cruisers team to raise funds for MS Queensland.<\/p>\n

She hopes to do so again this year despite a major health scare last year which saw her back in hospital.<\/p>\n

All entries for the Inverlaw walk must be lodged before June 1. No registrations will be available on the day.<\/p>\n

Josie said a canteen would be operating all morning for refreshments and there will also be raffles and novelty prizes.<\/p>\n
