Over 300 people participated in the Walk and on the day raised a total of over $3,500, which will be split equally between the two charities. The amount raised will increase as money is received from individuals who were sponsored to participate in the Walk.
If you participated in the Walk, there is still time to raise sponsorship money.
Get your family and friends to sponsor your walk!
All sponsorship money must be submitted to the Luke Priddis Foundation or Little by Little Inc, by Friday 4th of September 2009. If you would like to transfer the money directly to our bank account, please contact Shonagh on (02) 4732 4992 for bank account details.
