READY TO GO
 
Arrived in Sorrento and ready for our first leg of 23.4 kms
to Dromana tomorrow. Thanks for all the well wishes :)

Please share this website if you want to help us raise awareness and see better knowledge, medical support and research for tick infections and Lyme disease in Australia. 

Hi everyone, we would like to invite those interested in walking with us from any point along the last 4 kms of our Walk. Or to meet us at the finish point. We would love to have you along.      


If you want to walk with us....
The meeting point will be at the corner of St. Kilda Rd and Union Street at 11am (This is about 4 kms from the finish point)

HOWEVER, feel free to meet us anywhere between Union street and/or the finish point. We are allowing between an hour & an hour and a half to complete this walk. So it will just be a  gentle and easy pace to meet people along the way. This would make the finish time between 12 and 12:30pm


DETAILS FOR THE ROUTE DURING THIS 4KM WALK....
From Union Street we will walk along St Kilda Rd on the footpath (the right
side city bound). We will turn Right into Anzac Avenue (near kings domain) and
then follow Linlithgow Avenue up and around to Boathouse Drive Alexandra
Gardens. We will turn left into Boathouse drive and the finish point will be
just past this intersection.

Hope to see you there
Michelle and Steve :)

There is a project currently being undertaken here in Australia called the World Wide Lyme Protest. Over 20 countries are attempting to visually show how Lyme disease effects people's lives and also how many lives it effects. 
I believe there are a few videos being released from this project.  The original "Highlights" video was released a few weeks ago and was followed by the "I am" video. Another video was released yesterday and was called "I've Lost". There is one more video to come called "I Want". These videos do take a bit of time to watch so when you have a few minutes please take a look.  It is exactly why we are walking next week!!!!  

A very big thanks to those who have been working hard  and are continuing to contribute to such an important project and message!!  

Please see below the following videos in this listed order ....

Our promotion day in Sorrento went well on Monday. We managed a photo shoot with
the local newspaper - The Peninsula Leader. They will be doing an article on us
over the next week. We also managed to put our poster all over town. Many local businesses were interested in our walk and keen to support us by displaying our flyer and posters. So thank-you Sorrento!!

We also spoke to many people around town about
Lyme disease, co-infections and some of the issues here in Australia. Oh and we enjoyed a spot of lunch too before heading back on the ferry. It was a big day but a great one too.    

So join in with us everyone - lets try to
tell as many people as we can about Walk Aware - feel free to share our website details and LETS GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN TALKING AND THINKING ABOUT LYME DISEASE.
