100km OXFAM Trail Walker Fundraiser – Support Chris Neilsen & Michael Weadon

Two St Patrick’s College staff members Chris Neilsen and Michael Weadon along with two others have formed a team to complete the 100 Km OXFAM trail walker in April.- These hardy and intrepid souls, though they would describe themselves as foolhardy, – have committed to walking 100 km in less than 48 hours together as a team to raise money for the well-known aid organisation called OXFAM. Please click on the following link for more information about the important work of OXFAM. – https://www.oxfam.org.au

You can check out the trail map that Chris and Michael are walking. – https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/melbourne/trail/

They are committed to not only completing this gruelling walk but to also raise at least $1400 for this great cause.- So, – in the spirit of the forthcoming season of Lent and because the St. Patrick’s College is committed to the Touchstone of Justice and Solidarity, supporting education and fighting poverty, – we invite you to make a donation through this webpage: https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/my/team/27249

Any donation over $5 is tax deductible and very much appreciated.
