🚶‍♀️ From Coast to Country: A Walk That’s More Than a Journey
Join us in supporting a bold mission of grit, giving & education!

From October 14–24, a family will trek 300 km from Port Macquarie to Tamworth, not just to walk, but to change lives. This isn’t a stroll; it’s a statement. A pledge to rural students, to opportunity, to honoring legacy. 🔵🟡
Half of the funds will benefit the Hastings Education Fund, and the rest will help launch a new Country Education Foundation chapter in Tamworth.
This walk is a tribute to resilience — inspired by the life of Christopher Mark Murphy, and carried forward by his daughter Jeri and her family.
✨ You can:
• Follow their journey on Instagram —
• Donate so rural youth can access education
• Join them at the start, along the route, or the finish line

Because education is not a luxury — it’s a right.
One step. One story. One future.
