WALK MY WAY: Dalby Dawdlers
We’re stepping out in support of the Ukrainian people on Saturday 11 May at Walk My Way Ukraine!
We’re joining with hundreds of others to walk 12.5km or 3km along the Brisbane River to send a message of peace and support from the heart of Brisbane to the hearts of the Ukrainian people.
This is where we need your help.
It would mean a lot to us if you could support our fundraising by donating to our fundraising page today? Even a small donation will make a difference for a child and family in danger
Together we can show the Ukrainian people that they are not forgotten… together we can help provide the much-needed support that they need.
Thank you!

· For those in authority, such as King Charles and his representatives; Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and members of parliament; Premier Steven Miles and state parliamentarians; Mayor Andrew Smith and local councillors;
