Now in its seventh year, the Mission to Run initiative supports young homeless people across Melbourne.
On a sunny Sunday in March, more than 180 members of the Wadhurst community joined forces to raise money through the sponsorship of a group relay around the Wadhurst Oval over a four-hour time period.
Organised and managed by the Wadhurst Student Leadership and Service Learning Committee (SLSC), the funds raised will be used to purchase thermal blankets and sleeping coats. They will be distributed through Youth Projects.
Year 8 student and SLSC member, Stuart Galloway says: “Living on the streets is very hard, particularly as a younger person. If we can help get people warm, it might help them get back up on their feet again.
