Our Silly Walkers team is raising money to support the great work that Palmera does in Sri Lanka. We will be walking 100Kms in 24hrs. Yes we know, it is quite Silly 🤪
We hope that the small efforts we Silly Walkers take will go a long way towards helping those desperately in need of support & assistance, particularly in these difficult times.
The idea to do a really long (read: silly) walk for a good cause started back in 2015 with DJ (brother and friend) doing the 100km Palm Beach to Watsons Bay & Back walk. He did it for many reasons but one of them was to get his mental and physical health back in order. He smashed the 100kms alright (and conquered many of his demons along the way too!) as well as raising a ton of money for Palmera.
Sadly, 3 months after completing his walk, he passed away and shuffled off this mortal coil. He left behind wonderful memories for family and friends that will last us a lifetime.
One of our last few conversations before he left us was his wish to get our family & friends out walking regularly, as he had found it therapeutic and wanted others to get out there & conquer their own demons. We thought we’d put his advice into practice and give this walking thing a go! It’s not bad at all!
We held our very first Silly Walk in 2019 with 3 walkers doing the 100km and raised over $5,000. In 2020, we had 5 walkers doing the 100km, and raised another $5,000.
We hope we can raise this again in 2022!
Palmera works with small scale farmers and rural entrepreneurs to access profitable markets and create sustainable incomes so that no one is left out. Palmera believes the best way out of poverty is economic self sufficiency which delivers choice, freedom and dignity.
Please give generously 😀
Thanks
