Newington parents, Carolyn Betts, Sasha Titchkosky and Vicky Sharp participated on Sunday 22 October in the Sydney Springtrek 2017.
This 30km hike is set in the Kuring-gai National Park, walking parts of the Great North Walk and Berowa Track. 50,000 steps and 9.5 hours later and hiking a terrain that includes 1500m of elevation, Carolyn, Sasha, Vicky and the rest of the team made it to the finish line. This is such an amazing challenge, supported by incredible volunteers and a fantastic opportunity to see the beautiful Kuring-gai National Park, while supporting such a worthwhile cause. Totally recommended!!
The walk is to support literacy and girls’ education in Asia and Africa through internationally renowned Room to Read.
Room to Read is a fantastic cause. It seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in low-income countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organisations and governments, it helps develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and in the future.
