Beloved local duo Hayden Walsh and Karen O’Sullivan are teaming up this October to raise funds for Kyneton Health’s Palliative Care in the Home program by participating in the Mount Macedon Realty: Wooling Hill Run 2022.
The pair recently launched their book ‘If I Can, You Can’, which is all about Hayden’s plight to live his life to the fullest with cerebal palsy – now he and Karen are asking the community to get behind their fundraiser.
They’ve signed up to walk the lovely 1.2 kilometre, all-abilities course at the scenic Wooling Hill Memorial Estate in New Gisborne, which can be wheeled, run or walked as many times as participants choose until October 30.
“I want to inspire people of all abilities to sign up for the Mount Macedon Realty: Wooling Hill Run 2022,” Hayden said.
“Karen and I would like you to join us on Sunday, October 30 to walk a lap of the course on the final day. Let’s get together and raise some money.”
Wooling Hill Memorial Estate’s event hosts Troy and Libby Upfield and major sponsor Mount Macedon Realty’s Lisa Fowler want to raise $60,000 to purchase a new van for transporting essential equipment.
This includes wheelchairs, electrical hospital beds and air mattresses and other mobility aids to and from the homes of clients, to enable specialist community nursing staff to give the best end-of-life care and support in the home for clients and carers in the Macedon Ranges.
“Hayden continues to inspire me and many others with his passion for life and the wellbeing of others,” Karen said.
“As a member of the Central Highlands Rural Health Board of Directors, I know first-hand how important it is for the community to support their local health care service.”
