The Shaw and Partners Cooly Gold Ironman Challenge is proudly supported by the Shaw and Partners Foundation; which adopts simple motivation to “have fun, live life and give back”.

 

It is with this phrase in mind, that we approach this crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Jess, with an appetite to stretch our targets, collaborate and generate new and disruptive ideas for and approaches to giving.

 

On Thursday 31 May 2018 Jess tragically suffered an accident doing what she loves most, surfing with her friends on the Gold Coast. Jess was left face down and paralysed in the water, remaining conscious as she used her lifeguarding knowledge to hold her breath and stay alive. This accident resulted in a spinal injury, fracturing her C5 vertebra which squashed the spinal cord and left her without feeling or movement below the shoulders. 

Please rally behind the boys and the broader Ironman/Surf Life Saving Community to raise funds to assist Jess with her recovery.
