It’s on again – The Great Walk Foundation is about to undertake its third annual fundraising walk. This year they will be walking once again from Bathurst to Blaxland.

Last year The Great Walk Foundation raised $70,000 and many local charities benefited from the donations made.  The Foundation’s mission is to focus on the greater community needs within the Penrith/Blue Mountains/Hawkesbury region.

A number of local organisations were recipients of monies raised – including:
Penrith Community Kitchen ($10,000) – Riding for the Disabled Bathurst ($10,000) Nepean Hospital – (Incubator $32,000), Panthers On The Prowl ($3,000), Kingswood Early Intervention ($5,000), Lifestart Nepean ($8,000) and Life Education –Nepean Division ($2,000).

None of this would have been possible without the kindness shown by those who donated their time and money. The Great Walk Foundation is calling on those who have donated generously in the past to help make a difference for the future.

The walkers this year will be Mark Mulock, Rob Wearn, Jonathan Green, Mark (MG) Geyer, David Crossman and Trent Baker. The walk commences in Bathurst on Tuesday 18 May 2010 and finishes at Blaxland on Saturday 22 May 2010. The walk will conclude with a celebration at the Lapstone Hotel on Saturday night.

ALL WELCOME.
