Long Walk Home

I’m a Big Heart Club Member

I have pledged to choose love over hate to show people experiencing homelessness that they are not alone.

Support my 28km Long Walk Home to Help People in Crisis

This is my third year of joining this walk for this great cause. We lost our beautiful 21 year old son to heroin addiction in October 2019. Alistair was so much fun. He'd light up the room when he walked in, with his beautiful smile. He was adventurous, and very caring.

Alistair's spiral of addiction to heroin was relatively quick. He was supported and loved by family and friends but couldn’t break the cycle. I see Wayside provide that same compassion to others, which is why I walk each year, to keep his memory alive.

So far I helped deliver:

51

care packs

256

home-cooked meals

20

days crisis accommodation

…to people sleeping rough on our streets or in crisis.
