Walk from Woy Woy to Sydney for breast cancer care
A 60-kilometre walk from Woy Woy to the Sydney Cricket Ground will be held in early January to raise funds to support women with breast cancer.
Killcare Heights residents Ms Tammy Jackett and Mr Adam Glover will be among those participating in The Big Three Trek over Thursday and Friday, January 2 and 3, to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
The walk will see participants commence their journey at The Bayview Hotel in Woy Woy and finish at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Held across two days, participants can complete the whole journey or choose to cover a portion.
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid has urged local residents to support the walk.
"If you can, please donate," he said.
"Since its creation three years ago, $285,791 has been raised to support the McGrath Foundation.
"Through initiatives like this, the McGrath Foundation can continue to raise awareness for early detection and support Australian women with breast cancer.
"The McGrath Foundation is an outstanding charity supporting women with breast cancer and their families.
"We all know someone who has been impacted by this terrible disease.
"And we know that awareness and early detection is our best weapon against breast cancer."
This is the second year in a row that Tammy and Adam have been involved with the walk.
Ms Jackett said: "The whole journey is 60km and will end at the SCG.
"It will be tough but it's for an amazing cause.
"Participants completing the journey will arrive for the Pink Parade Walk before day one of the iconic Pink Test.
"Every donation counts and is going towards a really worthy cause," she said.
