I appeal for support of this year's Life Walk, which leaves Albury on Sunday, 18 April and arrives in Melbourne on Sunday, 25 April. This year's fundraiser is a major source of the income necessary to carry on Right to Life's work in the fields of pregnancy counselling, community education on life issues and the lobbying of politicians on abortion, euthanasia and embryo research.

To enquire about participation in part or the whole of the walk, please ring (03) 9387 7098.

On Saturday, 24 April, the walkers will arrive at St Francis Xavier's church, Box Hill, and a dinner will be provided for them and those kind people who billet them overnight.

If you live in the general area and can provide overnight accommodation, please ring me on 9898 5122.

If you can supply food such as casseroles or desert or provide some help between 6:00 and 9:00 pm, please ring Judy Reid on (03) 9878 4212.
