BaiMed 100 100's for Disability Trust
Illawarra Academy of Sport staff and athletes recently showed their support for IAS partner BaiMed Sports Physiotherapy by participating in the annual 100 100's charity challenge event, held at Beaten Park last Saturday.
The 100 100's is the brainchild of BaiMed's principal physiotherapist and 2013 Young Business Leader of the Year, Mick Baines, who created the event to raise money for The Disability Trust.
In the event, individuals or teams complete 100 metres on 100 occasions in 100 minutes.
"This is the perfect opportunity for workplaces in the Illawarra to promote and encourage healthy living and workplace camaraderie, as well as giving something back to the community and supporting The Disability Trust," Baines said.
"The Disability Trust provides care to over 3000 clients in the Illawarra region and relies on the generous support of the community through a number of charity events like the 100 100's."
The Academy of Sport sponsored the event and entered a team consisting of acting general manager Shannon Fraser, business administration officer Angela Ratini and accountant Selin Kahraman, along with athletes Joshua Kentwell and Sarah Gomes.
