2026 Heart & Sole - Newcastle

I’m walking in Heart & Sole - Walk for Sick Kids to help families stay close

I’m taking part in Heart & Sole – Walk for Sick Kids to help families stay close when it matters most.

When a child is seriously ill or injured, everything changes. Being close to the hospital can make an incredibly tough time just that little bit easier.

That’s why I’m walking 20km and raising funds to help families stay close to their child’s care at Ronald McDonald House, in hospital Family Rooms, and across Northern NSW.

Around $190 can help support a family for one night providing a place to stay, meals and the comfort of being together.

If you’re able to, I’d really appreciate your support.

Every donation helps families stay close when it matters most.

Thank you - it really means a lot.

I made it!

Sunday 14th Jun
It was beautiful, inspiring, challenging and painful. I was blown away by all the support from my wonderful friends and family, and this got me over the finish line. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Definitely “kindness in motion.”

Got my shirt and ready to go!

Thanks again to my amazing sponsors, you have inspired me so much to go the distance and challenge myself. Hopefully the rain stays away and it’s a nice day for a walk!

Thank you to Amazing Amy

After a week off with the flu, I'm back to regular walks to prepare for the big day.  Feel free to come and say hello and walk with me for a stretch on the 14th!  I'll have my mobile with me.

Huge thank you to Australian Property Finance Charlestown

Your donation means I can now tell Mum that I’m a sponsored athlete! 😂 I purchased my walking shoes today (and got a bargain thanks to Adam) so I’m raring to go!

Thank you to Carmela the Great!

Gary and I are blown away by your generosity.
Go to Bluey Vuitton Dog Salon & Daycare everyone! It has Gary's bark of approval!

Wow! Sally comes in with the awesomeness as well!

Thankyou so much Sally. Gary and I will be doing some warm up walks to build up our endurance to make you proud.

Thanks Belinda! You're awesome!

Tuesday 12th May
Thank you so much for donating to my RMH Walk.  I am walking for my beautiful nephews, Harry & Liam, who have spent their first weeks in NICU and then back to hospital on numerous occasions for operations and care.   Rowan and Meaghan have a supportive village of family around them, and RMH Family Rooms have been there to help them take care of themselves while they stay at their babies' side.
I'm not normally a long-distance walker, but Gary and I are looking forward to getting out and seeing the wonderful sights of Newcastle.

Thank you to my Sponsors
