The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) protects and upholds the human rights, wellbeing and dignity of asylum seekers.  They are are the largest provider of aid, advocacy and health services for asylum seekers in Australia.  Most importantly, at times of despair and hopelessness, they offer comfort, friendship, hope and respite.

The Biecentennial National Trail is the longest trail of its kind stretching over 5000kms from Healesville on Melbourne's fringe to Cooktown in Far North Queensland. The trail is designed for horse riders but is also used by walkers, mountain bikers and horse drawn vehicles. The trail was designed to protect traditional Australian droving history and culture and promote recreational horse riding over both short and long distances. Many stories of the trail can be found by searching online and two main themes can be easily felt from these stories, that it's a tough trail that demands perseverence, tenacity and a sense of adventure and that the people you meet along the way will make the experience as much as the trail itself does. Which is why we have chosen to support the ASRC in our adventure, because Australia is a welcoming, hospitable country that was founded and has been nurtured by tough people who came from overseas for a better life by their own hard work. We are losing this sense of hospitality in our current policies and in the actions our leaders are taking in our name so we want to remind all the people we come across on this journey either in person or via our blog and facebook page that Australians are better than this.

I am hoping to raise generous funds to make a difference for asylum seekers in Australia and to keep the natural welcoming nature of Australians alive.

Your generosity could help fund:

$10 Can pay for a food parcel to feed an asylum seeker family for a week

$20 Can pay for a phone card for an asylum seeker in detention to call their family

$55 Can pay for medical care for 10 asylum seeker children who have no Medicare

$100 Can fund crisis support to 20 asylum seekers families for a week

Please help me make a difference by supporting me with a donation, big or small. 

Thank you!
