Thank you for rolling with us!
Earlier this month I participated in the first Corporate Roll-A-Thon to support Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT! 💪 Team Macquarie jumped on a wheelchair and rolled around the Allianz Stadium for four hours to help “change lives of people with a disability through participation in sport.” Definitely a life-changing experience I will never forget! ❤️

With the Olympics done and dusted for another cycle. The Paralympics are upon us to show case that having a disability is actually a talent in someone’s true individuality. With many schools having the topic of disabilities in sport and learning about the Paralympics as a whole. It’s time to enhance that learning with a deeper experience of having Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT visit your school. Click on the link below and follow the prompts provided.

On 1st August, team members from Macquarie Group attended the inaugural Roll-a-thon hosted by Wheelchair Sports NSW/ACT at Allianz Stadium. Each team was allocated a sports wheelchair with the aim of keeping the wheels rolling around the Allianz Stadium concourse for 4-hours in order to raise funds and spread awareness to support those with a disability through participation in sport. Thank you to everyone who sponsored our team and supported this amazing cause. #macquariegroup #foundationprogram #rollathon #wheelchairsportsnsw
