As The Body Shop prepares for the launch of our next in-store Values Partner campaign with ANTaR (Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation) May 18 - June 7; elsewhere, preparation takes place for The Long Walk 2009.
Committed to the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australia; believing ALL Australians are entitled to a home, a job and an education; The Long Walk is a charity, focused on achieving equality between Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians.
Inspired by Michael Long's 2004 walk to Canberra, to get the lives of Indigenous people back on the national agenda, The Long Walk is now an annual event in Melbourne. This year's walk takes place on Saturday May 23, commencing at Federation Square at 4:00 pm and heading straight for the MCG for an evening of entertainment, including Richmond vs Essendon if you just happen to be a footy fan!
If footy's not your thing but you would like to show your support to The Long Walk (whatever State you live in) then you can register your own walk. Either way, a great cause.
