Fragile X fundraiser: Bridge to Beach paddle race across Sydney Harbour: Sunday 21st March

Fragile X fundraiser: Bridge to Beach paddle race across Sydney Harbour: Sunday 21st March

Shaw and Partners will match funds raised for Fragile X family support to $10,000!

The Manly Wharf Bridge to Beach sponsored by Investec is one of Australia’s largest open water paddling events and is regarded as one of the most spectacular in the world. Participants marshal at Milson Park for a spectacular sunrise over Sydney Harbour. Starting just off Milson Park north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, they then paddle past the Sydney Opera House and hug the northern shores of Sydney Harbour taking in sights such as Taronga Zoo, Bradley’s Head, Clifton Gardens, North Harbour Reserve and both South and North Head on their way to the beautiful Manly Wharf where the finish is. Funds raised through this event will be matched by Shaw and Partners to help resource our Family Support Counselling service.
