The Collingwood AFLW player shared a kick with some young central Victorians at the QEO yesterday as she promoted the fundraiser, which is in its 12^th year.

Formerly a physical education specialist teacher at Bendigo Violet Street Primary School, Grant was enthusiastic in her support for the fun run.

“It’s a fantastic way for the community to get together,” she said.
