State of Origin fever will take over the iconic Coolangatta Gold ironman race this weekend.
The sport’s stars from New South Wales and Queensland are going head-to-head raising money for Redhead ironwoman Jessica Collins, who was paralysed in a surfing accident.
“I think it just hit home for all of us, especially living on the Gold Coast because she had her accident at Snapper Rocks surfing, and now she’s a paraplegic and she was such a good competitor. To be able to help out in that sort of way and see how positive she is, it’s the least we can do.”
Their goal was to raise $30,000, and at the last check, they were just $400 away from that.
