Finally, a number of members in our community are participating in, and fundraising for, the 60km Peter MacCallum Walk to End Women's Cancers. Annette Charak in her recent drasha spoke from the heart about her struggle with cancer and the importance of community for support. She will be walking on the weekend of 1 March as will many other members of our shul including Michelle Prawer, Diane Lankri, Lorraine Abraham, Naomi Rassaby and Ann Wollner. We wish all these women and their teams all the very best. If you would like to donate to any of these participants, you can do so directly here.
