On the Run for Refugees
Story
I'm running the Melbourne Marathon 2015, (http://melbournemarathon.com.au/) and raising support for the Lentara Asylum Seeker project.
As a migrant, I understand the pressures of moving to a new country. However those seeking asylum in Australia need much more support. Lentara Uniting Care Asylum Seeker Project does a great job to provide this support in the Melbourne area.
I chose the title "On the Run for Refugees", with the recognition that many refugees and asylum seekers are on the run from many unimaginable horrors - and the least I can do is run for them!
Fleeing war, famine, persecution or unjust government systems, asylum seekers are desperate for a new start in a free country. As with most migrants, they need support when they arrive in Australia. However asylum seekers need extra support because of the stress under which they have fled their home country, the processes which they need to undergo to apply for asylum, and their lack of resources and community. Lentara UC Asylum Seeker Project provide professional casework support, housing, a basic living allowance, sundry other support and assistance, as well as research and advocacy.
