Harden and Murrumburrah residents are advised to keep an eye out for an incredible walker making his way through the twin towns on Sunday, 13 September.
Andrew Martin is walking a massive 1,800km from Brisbane to Melbourne over 30 days to raise funds for Challenge, supporting children with cancer and their families. He commenced the ‘Walk 4 Challenge’ on August 24th from Brisbane Children’s Hospital and will finish at the Challenge Family centre in West Melbourne.
Andrew should arrive around 4.00 to 5.00pm and will be staying the night.
For anyone fortunate to spot Andrew along the way, they are encouraged to “give him a toot, a wave or a cheer or stop and say hello!” as he makes his way down south.
Andrew has volunteered with Challenge for nearly 30 years, including cooking a monthly dinner for parents whose child is receiving cancer treatment in hospital, and will be travelling with fellow Challenge volunteers Greg and Steve, who are supporting him along the way in a Winnebago.
Currently, Andrew is still seeking affordable accommodation, and recommendations for accommodation, a good pub meal and a local physio are asked to be emailed to steve@challenge.org.au
