Today 172 people took part in the Spit to Manly for Manado Sponsored Walk! Together they raised over $17,000, all of which will go towards offering 57 families a chance out of poverty by receiving a micro business loan for the first time!

Isn't that astonishing and what a wonderful legacy to leave in the hearts of others. As the new poster says this year "All we wanted was an opportunity" and today 57 more families will have just such an opportunity.

At the end of the walk there were all sorts of arts and crafts on offer for kids to get involved with, cakes stalls filled with yummies and some local jewellry from Manado.

A great community day out, all round.

Thank you to all the local businesses who were involved in sponsoring the event, thank you to Seaforth Baptist Church for organising the event and thank you to all of you who took part.
