YRF 2027 charity partner

Every step helps support local families

Yeppoon Running Festival is proud to support Fitzroy Community Hospice, a community-built, not-for-profit organisation providing specialist palliative care and support for Central Queenslanders living with an advanced life-limiting condition.

Care, dignity and choice

Central Queensland’s first hospice

Fitzroy Community Hospice provides care at no charge in a peaceful, purpose-built and home-like environment. Its team helps people live as fully and comfortably as possible while also supporting their loved ones.

The service is available to adults with an advanced life-limiting condition—not only people with cancer—and takes a holistic approach to physical, cultural, emotional and spiritual care.

What community support helps provide

Specialist care, 24 hours a day

Palliative care nurses and specialised staff provide round-the-clock care in a 12-bed facility.

A welcoming place for loved ones

Families are welcomed and encouraged to stay, with large patient rooms, quiet spaces, lounges and gardens.

Support beyond clinical care

Patients, families and carers can receive social, emotional, pastoral, cultural, grief and bereavement support.

The cause behind the Family Run

The JRT 1.6km Family Run brings children, families, walkers and supporters together at Yeppoon Lagoon on Saturday 24 July 2027. Family Run entry support goes to Fitzroy Community Hospice.

Whether you take part, create a fundraising page, share the campaign or make a donation, your support helps this local service continue caring for Central Queensland families.
