Walk 1,000 km – Step by Step, We Heal

My Goal: Walk 1,000 km in 2025 for Children Impacted by Abuse

Starting on April 19th, I’m taking the first step of a long and meaningful journey. I’ve committed to walking 1,000 kilometers in 2025 to raise awareness and funds for children impacted by abuse and family violence.

This is just the beginning. I’m starting small, with the hope of doing even more in the years to come.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I’ve seen firsthand how abuse affects not just the victims, but their families and communities. The trauma lingers long after the abuse has ended. But with the right support, healing is possible. And I want to be a part of that change—no matter how small or large.

I’m not one to exercise or speak about my experiences, but I feel it’s important to step out of my comfort zone for this cause. Every kilometer I walk represents a voice that wasn’t heard, a childhood taken too soon, and a step toward hope, safety, and healing.

Almost 2 out of 3 Australians (62.2%) have experienced some form of child maltreatment—whether it’s physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, or exposure to domestic violence. This issue affects millions of people and demands our attention. 

I’m walking for them.
For their stories, their healing, their futures.

To support this journey, I’m raising funds for the Australian Childhood Foundation, a national charity committed to helping children recover from abuse, neglect, and violence. They provide specialized therapeutic care, safe environments, and advocacy for lasting change.

They believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and protected. And I do too.

My walking challenge:
• Start Date: April 19, 2025
• End Goal: Walk 1,000 km
• That’s ~3.9 km per day or ~27.4 km per week

If you can, please consider donating. Every step counts. Every dollar helps.
