The Sydney Harbour Bridge Virtual Charity Run 2020 – Team Miroma – We Did It! – for Adults with Challenges and Abilities

November 9, 2020

Team Miroma made an early start at 8am, this year in Covid 19 style, the 10km event virtually. Adam came along to help us start the run at Maroubra beach with pace. Robbie, my son, also joined Team Miroma to help the old man during the run andAisha ImranSeymour Dental social media manager, at the same time, began her run in a park run in Melbourne with a friend. In Sydney, the day was getting warmer, but in Melbourne the day was getting colder! We did a Facetime check in before the start and we were off.

Start of the Run at 8am

Adam set a cracking pace for us for about 1.5 km before he had to leave. Robbie and the man continued on at a more leisurely pace. Robbie had not trained for this so finishing the run was important than the time, believe me!

Robbie and the man made our way up the coast towards Coogee beach. We checked with Aisha at 5km and she was going at a better pace and feeling ok!

The weather in on the Sydney coast was perfect with a light breeze and mild conditions. We then turned around at 5km and headed back to Maroubra beach. Aisha arrived back half before us and said that was she did her best time for a 10km run ever at 1hr 13min. Well done!

This is our 12th amazing year for Team Miroma, raising funds for Inala.  James, my son, is now 23 years old.  He has autism and is non-verbal, and a young adult who wants to experience life! He loves music, concerts/gigs, the outdoors, the beach, and having a laugh. Sometimes he has difficulties which are not clearly understood by anyone.

These young adults are often overlooked. They still have the potential to learn and contribute to society. We want to also raise funds to maximize their potential. Miroma, is a branch of Inala. Established in 1958, Inala has a proud history of supporting individuals living with disability to reach their full potential through flexible accommodation, day services and community support. Miroma offers an innovative “integrated options” model of service delivery. Miroma’s three coordinated centres provide the opportunity to explore different aspects of personal development, artistic skills, independence and pre-vocational skills at each centre and within the community.

We want to raise awareness of these young adults with a disability.

Thanks Aisha, our Social Media Manager, for running for the first time. She helped Seymour Dental and she can help you too. Thanks also to Adam at the beginning, and especially to my son who joined the old man for the first time, and to all the past runners over the years.

Checking in with Aisha at race end

The more people that know about Inala, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing with your friends and family. We have found an excellent provider for James called Miroma which is a branch of InalaThey have never given up on James!

If you or family or friends would like to sponsor us all, that would be great.

Check out the Team Miroma blogs for past runs and future updates.

We are grateful for the support from our family and friends. Even listening to our concerns means we are not alone. We know that there are people who care and want to make changes for the better. We really appreciate all the people and carers who have helped us in the life of James. They are precious and amazing!

Again thanks for your support. We really appreciate it!
