Walk Complete!
Hey everyone, on Sunday the 4th of July, I completed the walk in Federation Square, Melbourne. Above is the map of the whole walk. I want to say a massive thank-you to everyone that has donated and that there is still time to donate.Recommencing June 29th
Hey everyone, great news. I’m recommencing the walk from Crib Point on Tuesday the 29th of June. If all goes to plan I will be finish at Federation square on Sunday the 4th of July.Update on the walk: 16-4-21
After 2 successful days of the walk I have had to pull out for the time being (the map above shows my progress so far).I’m walking 221km to help stop cancer.
Hi everyone,
My name is Daniel Federico and I’m 17 years old.
In 2021 I’m walking 221km for my brother, who passed away from T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) in 2018.
He was just 20 years old.
Sadly, around 50,000 Australians will die from cancer this year, 2,000 of which will die from leukemia.
To honour Julian, I did my first walk in 2019 in an attempt to raise $2,000. We ended up raising over $23,000.
This year on Sunday April 11, I’m going to undertake a 7-day solo coastal walk: starting at Inverloch to Cowes, then onto Stony Point via ferry, then along the Mornington Peninsula, and all the way to Melbourne’s CBD via suburban beaches.
I’d love for you to support me by sponsoring my journey.
100% of funds raised will be donated to the Cancer Council Australia to find a cure for this terrible disease.
Thank you so much for your support.
