IN SOLIDARITY - compassion in action

Every day, 292 million people around the world walk more than 30 minutes to collect water. This Lent, as part of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion, I’ll be walking with them.

I will be lacing up my sneakers and taking on The Long Walk for Water to help provide safe clean water for people in need. With every step I take, I’ll be making real, lasting change for vulnerable communities all over the world.

But I can’t do it alone! Unite Against Poverty with me this Lent and help create a world where no one gets left behind.

Thank you for walking with me – together, let's turn our compassion into action and make every step count!

Thank you

Today's walk. of 36 minutes, was in the cool of the evening, starting about 7:20 pm, at Cornelian Bay, after a genuinely hot and rather lovely summer's day.
