Wheelchair accessible event

To recruit dental practitioners to each take on one individual with a disability and manage their oral health for twelve months pro bono.

I will be running/walking/moving for 24 hours.

That’s right, I plan to keep putting one foot in front of the other

to improve the oral health for people with disability.

1. Sausage sizzle thanks to Rotary MASH

Athletes of all abilities will be joining in for laps including amazing athletes from Special Olympics!

A silent auction with items such as Essendon FC 150th mens guernsey, a cricket bat signed by Michael Clarke, an amazing artwork of a drippy basketball to name a few! See the listings on eBay.

Raffles:

1. A wellness hamper with items donated by Lululemon, Vision Surrey Hills, MacPac, Beautiful Midlife.

2. A foodie hamper with lots of yummy offerings.

MC duties by Cameron and James from The Take A Seat Project.

 

Come along, regardless of ability. Run, walk, do wheelchair laps with me, cheer me on, cheer those circling with me and even better bring along the name of your dental practitioner so we can add them to the list (don’t forget to check with them first). Bring them along! You will be welcome any time. Come in your PJs and do a lap with me at night! How cool would that be! Do a single lap, do a dozen, don’t do any and just say hi. Let’s get out there and really make this a super event to raise awareness around oral health for people with disability and more importantly let’s get that workforce built, that connection made, that community built, one dental practitioner at a time.

The Statistics

There are only 25 registered Specialists in Special Needs Dentistry in Australia and all of those are based in major cities. That amounts to 1 specialist per 176,000 people with a disability. (Dental Board of Australia, 2021)
