Walk a Mile in My Boots event

WALK A MILE IN MY BOOTS

The Hutt Street Centre's "Walk a Mile in My Boots" fundraiser attracted around 3500 walkers for the annual fundraising event on Friday 7 August. The five Rotary Clubs comprising Group 1, all sent walkers who united behind a Rotary Banner while we walked from the old Victoria Park Racecourse site to the South Parklands via Wakefield Street and Hutt Street.

"Walk a Mile in my Boots" is the Hutt Street Centre's official National Homelessness Prevention Week event designed to assist around 6,000 people who experience homelessness in South Australia each year.

Our Club fielded 20 walkers (plus four dogs) and we were pleased to each donate $25 per walker to the cause of helping Adelaide's homeless people to food and shelter that is provided by the Hutt Street Centre.

Thanks to Deborah Wotherspoon for organising our volunteers.
