A wheely good night awaits
THE young Mt Molloy local running solo in the Great Wheelbarrow Race is holding a trivia fundraising event this Saturday and is encouraging locals to get in on the action.
Bodie Bloore announced his campaign to run the Wheelbarrow Race solo for the Epilepsy Foundation earlier in the year and has already surpassed his fundraising goal of $3,000.
Bloore also suffered another seizure recently in which both his shoulders were dislocated. However, he is determined to continue his training for the 140km event and further smash his fundraising goal.
He is encouraging others to join in for a fun-filled night of trivia, laughs and fundraising, all in support of the Epilepsy Foundation.
The night will feature a range of trivia questions, a purple dress theme with a prize for the best dressed, a professional photo booth by Sunbeam and Sage Sets, and a silent auction.
The event will take place this Saturday from 6pm at the National Hotel (Mt Molloy Pub). There is a $10 cost per person with teams of up to five allowed.
All proceeds from the event will be added to the funds that Bodie will donate to the Epilepsy Foundation.

The Great Wheelbarrow Race is on 9-11 May, kicking off with a parade along Byrnes Street on Friday Morning.
