Join the Walk Toward Hope this Saturday

EVERYONE is invited to join NALAG’S Walk Toward Hope across the L.H. Ford Bridge this Saturday morning.

“I believe suicide prevention is everybody’s business and we need to have those conversations around suicide prevention,” NALAG’S Trudy Hanson said. “The Walk Towards Hope is a start towards having communities engage in these talks.”

Men of League Western Region President, Martin Cook, says his organisation is proudly supporting NALAG’S Walk Toward Hope. “We’re hoping the rugby league community can turn up on Saturday to show their support for this very important cause,” Martin said.

“We hope this raised awareness can then lead to more community action,” he added.

Everyone – from all walks of life – is welcome to gather at the Bob Jane T-mart site, on Macquarie Street near the bridge, this Saturday morning from 11 where you’ll receive a T-shirt to wear and a balloon to carry – there’s limited stock so arrive early. The walk across the bridge is due to start at 11.30 for a brief Remembrance Ceremony at midday at Lions Park in West Dubbo, followed by a free barbecue lunch at 12.30.

Activities in Dubbo this Saturday come in the same week we had a visit from the R U OK? Conversation Convoy which stopped in Dubbo on Monday as part of a six-week journey around Australia’s cities and regional towns.
