Michelle Eastburn Charity Golf Day
On Thursday, 12 June 2025, Yamaha Motor Australia will be throwing its support behind the fundraising efforts for Yamaha family member Michelle Eastburn by holding a special charity golf day at the Lynwood Country Club in Pitt Town, NSW.
Last year, Michelle’s life changed forever when she suffered a catastrophic spinal cord injury, resulting in permanent paralysis from the torso down. The much-cherished member of the motorcycling community, and a warm and smiling presence at racing circuits around Australia, is now fighting to regain her independence through rigorous rehabilitation and cutting-edge medical treatments, placing enormous strain on her financial situation.
The charity golf day will feature both a modified Stableford tournament and a fun-filled mini golf event. Proceeds will go directly toward Michelle’s recovery, including the purchase of a fully electric sit-to-stand wheelchair, as well as alternate therapies like hyperbaric chamber sessions, full-body red light for nerve regeneration and participation in trial stem cell therapy, all of which are not covered by insurance.
These life-changing treatments will support Michelle’s physical mobility, mental wellbeing, and long-term quality of life. Your involvement—whether by swinging a club, sponsoring the event, or simply attending—will make a lasting and meaningful impact.
Please note, this is not an official Yamaha Motor Australia event, but an event being organised by Michelle’s work colleagues and friends with the support of Yamaha Motor Australia.
