What a fantastic day we had on Sunday at the Rotary Peninsula 2.0 Seaford Wetlands Fun Run!
Our incredible PARC trainers, Nic and Kristy, kicked things off with a fun warm up, while our More People Can Swim team kept the kids busy with water safety activities.
We’re proud to partner with Rotary Peninsula 2.0 on this wonderful community event and loved seeing so many familiar PARC member faces in the crowd.
