Why I'm walking, running & riding for water this October!
Why I’m walking 83.3km for water this October 💧
This October, I’m taking on a pretty significant challenge as part of Team Sequana’s Walk for Water fundraising efforts for WaterAid Australia.
On 22–23 October, I’ll be walking 83.3 kilometres across Melbourne over two days, alongside Chris Edwards from Inside Water and colleagues and leaders from across Victoria’s water industry.
Our Ultra Walk will connect Melbourne’s four metropolitan water utilities — South East Water, Melbourne Water, Yarra Valley Water and Greater Western Water — with people from across the sector joining us for different legs of the journey. Together, we’ll be walking by water, for water, to raise funds and awareness for WaterAid.
But while 83.3km in two days will certainly be a challenge, the distance isn’t really the point.
Around the world, 696 million people – almost one in ten – do not have clean water close to home. Every day, women and children walk long distances to collect water for their families, often taking children away from school and limiting opportunities for entire communities.
That’s why we’re walking — so others don’t have to.
Across the broader Walk for Water campaign, Team Sequana will be walking, running and riding to raise awareness and funds to help more people access clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene.
I would be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, big or small, will contribute to Team Sequana’s fundraising efforts and help WaterAid continue its life-changing work around the world.
Please donate if you can — and share my page with your friends, family and networks to help us spread the word.
Thank you so much for supporting me, Team Sequana and WaterAid. It means a lot! 💙
