Run for Asylum Seekers

Story

Our team is taking part in the 2015 Melbourne Marathon Festival and hoping to raise funds in support of the Lentara UnitingCare Asylum Seeker Program.

So many people have desperately fled their home countries to escape terrible circumstances. They have come to Australia seeking asylum.

This October, we are going to sweat it out and run because we care. We long for an Australia that is welcoming, compassionate and generous.

We are honoured to support this great cause by being part of this amazing race, and we’d really appreciate your support in this endeavour. 
 

POST-RACE UPDATE: A big thanks to all involved - supporters, donors, and particularly our runners. It was perfect conditions for running, and many thousands of people enjoying the morning. Well doen to our Marathon representative, Nigel, who completed the journey in just under 3:30hrs.

 

A great fundrasing total in support of our efforts with Asylum Seekers.

 

Next year? I hope so.

 

David, on behalf of the Lentara "Run for Asylum Seekers" Team
