We are very lucky to have some incredible and highly dedicated staff on our team here at Glady and Co. I wanted to share with you a fundraising activity one of our participants and their support worker are completing next month. Jo is a highly regarded Support Worker here at Glady and Co. She is going to participate in a 60km walk with one of her participants to raise funds for mental health.

It’s fantastic to see the positive impact providing supports can have on someone’s life!

Jo I wish you and your participant all the best!

Message from Jo.

A participant and I have entered the Melbourne Beyond Blue Coastrek and will be walking 60km on Friday 21 May.

This isn't just a walk in the park – it involves a training regime that my participant has worked out, where we are climbing unforgiving hills, ascending hundreds of stairs, pushing through bush tracks and stomping through soft sand along with some sessions at the gym.

We are taking on this challenge to raise funds for Beyond Blue to support mental health in Australia.

We will be doing the trek along with two friends of my participant. Each team has the aim of raising $2,000. If you would like to make a donation please click on the link below to view my fundraising page:

Every donation helps and makes a significant impact to mental health in Australia, so thank you for your generosity. A tax-deductible receipt will be emailed to you immediately after you donate.

Thank you for your support!

Joanne
