As I’ve mentioned previously, I believe it is essential to support local charities and community outreaches whenever possible and I try to encourage that kind of thinking in my Team. However, even I was surprised (and very proud) when I found out one of my team members is supporting FIVE different charities this month!!

Take a few minutes out of your day to give blood and help save lives!
He doesn’t want to be named because he’s a humble guy, but here are the charities he’s supported in November:
- Walking Home – a 37 kilometre walk from Queenscliff to Geelong to raise awareness of homelessness in our region.
- Movember – he’s growing a moustache to raise funds for men’s health issues.
- Run Geelong – running to raise funds for the Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward.
- Prevention of Violence Against Women – he has bought and is wearing a white ribbon in support of this important charity.
- Giving blood at the blood bank – blood levels are currently low, so it’s a great time to roll up your sleeve and donate blood. We’ve got a drive going at the Gym at the moment to get as many people as possible to donate blood in November.
What a fantastic selection of charities to support and an inspiration to us all to get involved when and where we can, because every person’s small effort makes a big difference!



There are also options of joining the walk at three alternative stages so you can do 20km, 12km or 5km if you prefer – so why not join the walk for the length which suits you best?!
And finally, here is your chance to walk and make a difference… not just to this worthwhile cause, but to your health and fitness. A challenge, a goal to reach.
