Walk from Melbourne to Perth


July 15th 2023 I am doing a walk from Melbourne to Perth in memory of my daughter Summer who passed away from pneumonia on November 5th 2017 in Perth while on holidays with her Mum. I hadn’t seen her for 2 weeks before her going on holidays and never got to say goodbye to her. Since then I have gone through a lot of ups and downs, 2 years ago I got my life back on track. I am mentally and physically stronger than I have ever been so this walk is to show people no matter what they are going through, they can get through it with the right mindset and attitude. I am asking for donations becaue there are alot of charities out there now and not 100% donated actually goes to the cause. So I was laying here thinking how can I give directly to the people who need it. I remember when we were organising Summer's funeral and lucky for us we had a friend who made a gofund me page to help raise money, it was one less stress. 
So I want to help parents out who go through the stress of having to worry about finding the money to pay for funerals after losing a child. 
When I get back I'm going to set up a meeting with the royal children's hospital and leave my details for anyone that needs help with funding. As sad as it is, I'm not the first and I won't be the last to lose a child, by me doing this it will also help me that by Summer passing away, she is helping people. Even if I only raise enough to give to one family, it's one family that doesn't have to stress about giving their child the send off they deserve.
