Nearly $3000 was raised on the day, though SUPfit creator Lenna Wingate hopes people’s generosity will continue and help gain a little bit extra by the time her raffles end this Saturday.
Ms Wingate said she wanted to use her alternative fitness business to show families how to live a healthier life, while supporting the Kids Fund and assist in getting more equipment and aids for local kids in need.
“So many of my clients have children with disabilities it’s made me very passionate about the cause,” she said.
“I see it all the time where parents give kids with disabilities video games or iPads to occupy their time, because their child may require a bit more hard work and it annoys me. I want to give mums and dads an opportunity to get their kids back into the outdoors, and do something fun.”
