The Rotary Club of Emerald and District’s Kids Fun Run with Puffing Billy took place on Sunday, 30 November, at the Puffing Billy Railway Station in Gembrook.
The popular annual event designed for children aged three to 12 brought the community together for a day of running and community spirit.
This year’s fundraiser supported the creation of a ‘Healing Mural’ for the Children’s Ward at William Angliss Hospital, painted by artist Tess Dawson.
Rotary treasurer Shalini Penny said the mural would help reduce stress and anxiety in young patients.
With over 300 registrations and strong local business support, the event was a success.
