I'm touring Sydney again on foot...for 42.195km.

Story

Dear All,
 

I'm taking part in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival marathon event again this year and hoping to raise much needed funds for charity.
 

Any support in terms of donations will be very much appreciated. Donations will be directed to the CatholicCare Sydney Refugee Program based at Liverpool.

 

Your donations to the refugee program will assist in the following ways:

 

$10 - A CatholicCare Sydney case worker is able to meet with refugees and assess their needs

 

$20 - A CatholicCare Sydney case worker is able to manage a new case and provide referrals to find appropriate services such as food, banks, housing and counselling

 

$50 - Enables a CatholicCare Sydney case worker to complete a resume and cover letter for a refugee

 

$100 - 3 hours of pre-employment training for a refugee in areas such as cultural differences, communication and presentation

 

$250 - All of the above + a mock job interview and assistance with job searching

 

Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference.

 

John McGann

 

(BTW: If 42.195km seems a long way then I may be running a longer ultra-marathon 4 weeks later)
