Walking every day gets you thinking

I've always thought of myself as a walker, and doing this challenge has highlighted that's not really the case. I haven't been walking EVERY day, and not for the average of 4km required each day to achieve the 122km target. 

Now that I'm doing that, I realise the many benefits it brings. I've had time to listen to podcasts, walk in nature, walk with friends, walk with my grandson, take time to think, and most importantly, about homelessness. 

I came across an article describing how, through an innovative public policy strategy that has virtually eliminated homelessness within its borders, Finland has redefined how nations can address homelessness. 

Worth a read and a think, me thinks.

I'm walking for the 122,000 Australians experiencing homelessness

Right now, there are 122,000 Australians experiencing homelessness. That's 1 in 210 people.

This March, I will be taking part in Walk the Walk and going the distance for the 122,000 people doing it tough in our community.

I'm walking to raise funds for Orange Sky's vital work providing connection through clean laundry, warm showers, and genuine conversation.

Please support my walk to positively connect communities and support people who need it the most.

Together, we can show Aussies experiencing homelessness they're not alone. 

My Impact

64 people helped

I've raised $1532 so far to provide clean laundry, warm showers and genuine conversation to 64 people experiencing homelessness in our community.
