Carers Victoria Walk To Care 2013

By Darren Stones

What a fantastic day! On Sunday 17 November 2013 it was perfect weather for Carers Victoria Walk To Care 2013, and with approximately 300 walkers, everyone had a great time raising awareness and funds.

It was a bubbly festival atmosphere with entertainment, a petting zoo, Zumba dancing, wellbeing and massage stall, and a terrific BBQ. Participants wore their supplied lime green t-shirts for the 4-kilometre walk along the banks of the picturesque Maribyrnong River.

Sponsor me as I 'Walk To Care' along the Maribyrnong River

By Darren Stones

On Sunday November 17, 2013 from 9:00am to 2:30pm I will be taking part in Carers Victoria 'Walk To Care'. This event is a non-competitive 4 kilometre walk along the banks of Maribyrnong River.

Commencing from Coulson Gardens, which is located on The Esplanade/Chifley Drive in Maribyrnong, the walk aims to support and celebrate carers who go about their duties on a daily basis.

I'll be taking part in the walk and I kindly ask you to consider sponsoring me as my aim is to raise a minimum of $200.00 for Carers Victoria.

As a volunteer working with the Young Carers Program as part of Merri Community Health Services, I can say that these people need our support, and importantly, some recognition for their efforts.

Thanks for your support. Give generously!
