Personal Freedom Walk - For Disability & Poverty

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money for Disability & Poverty.
I'm going to walk from Launceston to Hobart (nearly 200km)
As of July 12th - 26th July 2019!

Suffering from a sun allergy, and having recently lost everything, I myself know the effects of both. So I'm defying my condition and my empty wallet to prove I'm still able to dream big and reach my goals. Many cannot be so physically active due to their conditions but they still should be able to have a good life, not just be condemned to sit on the couch and do nothing simply because their Disability or Poverty tells them that's all they are worth, Because they are not!
We all deserve the chance for education, decent  housing, clothing and food, the chance to reach our dreams. My life isn't easy due to my condition but with creative thinking I can still do some amazing things!
So can others.
So can you!
Be amazing and help me raise money for those who's dreams are fading by the second and whom many might not have a lifetime to wait.
Anything thing you can offer will help!
So come on everyone, lets all get up off the 'couch' and be active....even if you don't walk an obscene way to prove a point like me.
We can all help in some way!
Will you help me?

Thank you to everyone in advance for your help!

*Enterprising Aardvark supports people many of whom face the combined  challenges of poverty, disability and severe trauma. This was entirely my idea and they kindly agreed to support me. I cannot thank them enough.
