ABOUT 50 locals from all walks of life will participate in the Queen’s Baton Relay as it passes through Hillarys, Quinns Rocks and Wanneroo on its way to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Baton bearers include cancer survivor Chloe Clements (17), Telethon walker Scott Guerini (11), athletics coach Brian Pozzi (73), Wanneroo Freeman Margaret Cockman and softball player Rusty Nelligan.
Other participants include 2016 Western Australian Aboriginal of the year Rishelle Hume, surf lifesaver Christine Cougan, paratriathlete Sally Pilbeam and mental health advocate Craig Butterworth.
They will take turns carrying the baton as it travels through the northern suburbs next February in the lead up to the Games at the Gold Coast in April.
