2024 Byron Coastal Charity Walk

Your support needed…

This will be my second year participating in the Westpac Helicopter Rescue Service’s Byron Coastal Charity Walk (between Byron Bay and Ballina) and I ask that you consider helping me to raise funds for this fantastic community service. 


It costs $4,000 an hour to keep each of their 4 x AW139 helicopters in the air and every dollar donated to the service could very well contribute to saving a life.


I have two goals: importantly, I want to raise a minimum of $500 through my participation and secondly I plan to beat my previous time (5 hours 38 minutes) by finishing within 5 hours 30 minutes over the 36 km. I don’t run anymore…


The walk will take place on Saturday 4 May 2024.


Any contribution, however small (or large!), is welcome and I look forward to receiving your generous support.


Very many thanks in advance.

Extraordinary!

Tuesday 9th Apr
I’m overwhelmed with your combined generosity.

Topping the $1,000 in donations is, indeed, extraordinary and I thank all of you who have donated to this great cause.

Now, I guess, it’s up to me to do my bit in a few weeks time…

You can be assured that I’ll be chasing the clock with a view to smashing my time last year!

Thank you!

A huge thank you to those of you who have contributed to my fundraising efforts.


I had no expectation that the target I set for myself would be exceeded - especially in such a short period.


I’ve started to extend my coastal walks, although I’m definitely a fair weather walker… however, by 4 May, I hope to be ready…

Thank you to my Sponsors
