Walking and Talking
We’ve been fortunate to pull a team of Queenwood parents together from across all year groups. Over the past 9 weeks we’ve been walking together to increase our distance in preparation for the big day. Not only has it been a privilege to walk some of the most beautiful coastal tracks in the world but we’ve loved chatting, laughing and meeting new parents in the process. Time flies when you’re having fun! 🤩We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
Our team is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.
We know we’ll cross the finish line exhausted and blistered, but that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease (mito) go through every day of their lives.
Mito robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure. It can affect anyone at any age.
Please sponsor our walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.
Every dollar will make a difference.
THANK YOU!
