  3. Work for Significance Day - 6 September

    - General News

     

    On 6 September, the Back In Motion Health Group community across Australia, will pursue our vision to be significant by donating every dollar received on this day to a truly significant cause – SOS Foundation.

     

    ...donate one day’s success for long lasting significance.

     

     

    What is Work4Significance Day?

    Work4Significance Day is SOS Foundation’s premier annual fundraising event hosted by Back In Motion (BIM) practices nationally. Since the first Work4Significance Day in 2009, funds raised have supported various Outreach Missions, purchase of medical equipment for disadvantaged communities and the SOS Crisis Support Program.

     

    Where will the money go?

    The money raised on Work4Significance Day will be used by SOS Foundation to fund the provision of health and support services, practical assistance and relief in:

    • Urban Poverty projects.
    • Outreach Missions to disadvantaged indigenous communities in remote Australia.

     

    How can I be Significant?

     

    If success is about what you can achieve for yourself, significance is what you can do for others.

     

    You too can “be significant”. Book a physio treatment, massage, pilates session or any other of the many services BIM offer and help raise funds for the SOS Foundation. To locate a participating practice near you visit our locations.

He also won the Shepparton Half Ironman in December as well as backing that up by finishing 2nd at Ironman Western Australia in a huge PB of 8hrs 18minutes. Due to the rigours of Matty’s training regime massage and physiotherapy is crucial in the role of being able to recover and prevent overuse injuries in this gruelling sport, Matty consults with the team at Back In Motion Campbelltown on a weekly basis as part of his program.
