Great Wheelbarrow Race 2026 - GTB

By Guy Davis

I'm fundraising for Guide Dogs Queensland

This year, GTB Engineering staff & other dedicated members of the community have made the decision to partake in the Mareeba & Dimbulah Community Bank Great Wheelbarrow Race again. The race is scheduled to take place from the 8th to the 10th of May 2026.

 

Our inspiration for joining the Great Wheelbarrow Race stems from our daughter and granddaughter, Lucy. Lucy was born with a rare genetic condition known as Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). LCA leads to early onset childhood blindness affecting only 1 in 50,000 births. Lucy lights up the lives of everyone she encounters with her infectious joy and spirit.

 

It is our collective goal to raise awareness about living with blindness or low vision and to raise funds for an organisation that has been a major source of support for Lucy and her family.

We humbly appeal to you for your generous donation towards our fundraising efforts for Guide Dogs Queensland.

 

Your generosity and kindness will make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by blindness or low vision. Together, we can create a meaningful impact and support individuals like Lucy.

Thank you for considering our cause and for your invaluable support. Your generosity will be deeply appreciated by us and by all those whose lives will be positively impacted by your contribution.

On behalf of Team GTB
