Linda commenced working with Connect Sport Australia in January 2016 after being a regular volunteer on CSA charity tours as a massage therapist for two years.
After supporting a child through a serious illness, she organised a fundraising bike tour with her son, to raise awareness and money for the Childhood Cancer Association, finding a love for working with and supporting charities.
This led Linda to The Ride For Sick Kids, a charity bike tour for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and Connect Sport Australia. Here she discovered a need for massage therapists to be able to support the riders on tour, and has since become a Qualified massage therapist, specialising in sports massage.
Linda has an extensive background in administration, liaising with councils and state government within the mining industry, and has experience in event management, organisation of fundraising and charity events, and motor sport events.
