The Great Wheelbarrow Race 2023

Go ‘Freshie Flyers’!

Each year FCC trains a team of ten Year 12 students to compete in the Great Wheelbarrow Race from Mareeba to Chillagoe. The race spans a distance of around 140 km over three days. 

 

The team is drawn from a group of hopefuls, some with and some without athletic prowess.

Not only do our students compete in the Great Wheelbarrow Race for personal development but the team also raise funds for charity ‘3 Angels’.

3 Angels Nepal is a charity based in Pokhara, Nepal. Under the leadership of Dr  Rajendra Gautam, 3 Angels fight human trafficking through rescue, prevention and rehabilitation. Working with vulnerable women from remote villages and urban areas.
3 Angels show God’s love in practical ways by offering at-risk children a place at the 3 Angels school, and boarding houses. As well as setting up booths at border crossings to interview children travelling without family support.
From 2006 till June 2000, 3 Angels intercepted 50,000 children being smuggled into India, from an expected 30,000 Nepalese trafficked each year.
3 Angels also are establishing hostels for young women rescued from sex slavery and brought back to Nepal. Currently, they provide over 100 places for these women and operate a school of over 440 students.
