Carers Victoria – Walk to Care

Coulson Gardens – Maribyrnong River, Maribyrnong, VIC 3032
Sunday 18th November, 2012

Walk to Care is a 4km walk, giving Victorians an opportunity to show their support and raise funds for family carers. Walk to Care 2012 is being held at Coulson Gardens in Maribyrnong, VIC and the day is a major fundraising and awareness event for Carers Victoria, the peak body representing and supporting family carers in Victoria.

One in eight Victorians is a carer for someone with a disability, chronic or mental illness, or who is frail aged.

It’s time Victorians came together to show that we value family carers… and it starts with one step. Join us as we Walk to Care at Coulson Gardens on 18 November 2012

Walk the Maribyrnong River

Come and walk the Marby River!!!

Walk to Care is a non-competitive 4km charity walk along the banks of the Maribyrnong river. The walk is a highly effective way to highlight the challenge of supporting the carers’ community, and encourage understanding and awareness of the services Carers Victoria provides.

This years event will be longer than last years with a 5km run/walk starting at 5:30pm, followed by an 10km run/walk starting at 5:50pm. The course will start from Coulson Gardens, and will head north along the Maribrynong River through the new Afton Street Conservation Park Wetland, and return back along the other side of the river.

Come and run the Marby River!!!

Saturday 17th March is St Patrick’s Day, so instead of heading down to the Anglers Tavern by the river for a beer, why not celebrate with family and friends in the GREEN surrounds of Coulson Gardens. There is a playground in Coulson Park for the kids and plenty of barbeque and seating areas to kick back, watch the sun set and enjoy an evening picnic after the race.

There is no official charity or fun raising in place for this event, but the 2012 Victorian University River Run, encourages participants to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
