Details:
The seventh Manly-Manado 10km sponsored Walk (from Spit Bridge to Manly) is taking place on Saturday, 10th September 2011. This year we invite you to walk for one of the mothers and babies from the Compassion Child Survival Project in Manado, Indonesia and raise funds that will have a vital and lasting impact on the lives of these mothers and little children in Manado.
Every day 22,000 children under the age of five die from mostly preventable causes. By taking part in this year’s Walk you are helping to reduce this figure. The Child Survival Program in Manado supports 50 mothers and babies and is designed to help pregnant women, at risk-babies and infants and their mothers and caregivers survive and thrive and overcome these preventable diseases. It also supports the Millennium Development Goals 4 (reduce child mortality) and 5 (improve maternal health).
To date, over 1,300 people have taken part in the Manly-Manado Walk experiencing one of Sydney’s most beautiful scenic walkways from Spit Bridge to Manly. In doing so, over $135,000 has been raised and this year we are aiming to raise a further $32,000 for the 50 mothers and babies in Manado.
On the day you will be given a picture of the mother and baby from Manado you are walking for and you will find out more about their lives along the walk.
So why not invite your friends, family & colleagues to join in! It promises to be a fun day for young and old alike. There will be plenty of refreshments along the way with a sausage sizzle and kids activities at the finish. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult.
Cost: Registration is free but each walker should aim to raise $100 each.
