Team Miroma – The Sydney Harbour Bridge Charity Run 2019 – Adults with Challenges and Abilities
This year, Team Miroma will be running The Sydney Harbour Bridge Run on Sunday the 15th September. It will again be an early start at 8am and we will be running 10km and finishing at the Opera House. This will be our 11th amazing year for Team Miroma. We are again raising funds for Inala. James, my son is now 21 years old, almost 22. He has autism and is non-verbal, and a young adult who wants to experience life! He loves music, concerts/gigs, the outdoors, the beach, and having a laugh. Sometimes he has difficulties which are not clearly understood by anyone.
These young adults are often overlooked. They still have the potential to learn and contribute to society. We want to also raise funds to maximize their potential. Miroma, is a branch of Inala. Established in 1958, Inala has a proud history of supporting individuals living with disability to reach their full potential through flexible accommodation, day services and community support. Miroma offers an innovative “integrated options” model of service delivery. Miroma’s three coordinated centres provide the opportunity to explore different aspects of personal development, artistic skills, independence and pre-vocational skills at each centre and within the community.
We want to raise awareness of these young adults with a disability.
This year’s Team Miroma are Ellie, who rang in the team in 2015, Joy Liu, fellow Dentist from Seymour Dental,and myself. If anyone would like to join us please let me know. The more people that know about Inala, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing with your friends and family. We have found an excellent provider for James called Miroma which is a branch of Inala. They have never given up on James!
We have been raising money for children, and now adults, with disabilities for some 11 years.

We are grateful for the support from our family and friends. Even listening to our concerns means we are not alone. We know that there are people who care and want to make changes for the better. We really appreciate all the people and carers who have helped us in the life of James. They are precious and amazing!
