Jo's Walk

Hi Friends and Family,

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit The Fred Hollows Foundation, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me and Joey also.

Hopefully many of you already have March 2, 2024 scheduled to celebrate my amazing, caring and beautiful late wife Joanne Day. Jo was such a good friend to so many of you and left her indelible mark in the community.

This 2nd walk will be a very special day with music from the Amazing Matthew Hadgraft performing the best songs from his National Elton John & Peter Allen Tribute shows. If you have seen him performing around Australia you will know his show is not to be missed.

DJ Hutch returns with his Bali poolside beats and the extremely talented Sofia Darcy returns (or was it Adele?). She made many of us cry last year with her touching songs.

The logistics:

Walk leaves Ella Street at 1215 pm (roughly 45 minutes) on March 2.

Lunch / BBQ begins after the walk with music commencing around 1:30.

The pool will be open so bring your togs.

FAQ's!

What can I bring ? Chair, drinks, your own glass and a small salad. Snags, burgers, sausage rolls and chicken supplied on day.

How else can I help? Bring a friend that knew or worked with Joey. Continue to donate and importantly share this invite with friends of Jo's. Take empty bottles home.

Share the gofundme link above via email.

Can I donate cash on the day? Yes, you can but I can't provide a receipt for the charity. However if you donate $50 cash I donate another $25 as well.

Why the Fred Hollows Foundation? The foundation works to restore vision around the world. For just $25 a life is forever changed with the return of a person's eyesight. I'm trying to continue Jo's medical legacy, Jo walked for the charity and it helps people and families all over the world. We were always amazed that $25 could do so much. Imagine if somebody in your family had their sight restored - it changes everything!

Can i bring a friend that loves music? Sure, but particularly appreciated if they donate towards the day. Elton John / Peter Allen will be on not long after lunch.

Do I have to walk ? No, it's just a good time to connect and talk about Jo. You can also do a shorter walk around the local park. If you don't want to walk at all I could do with a helper or 2 on food duty.

Can I skinny dip in the pool? If you want to be social media famous.
