5k for 5k challenge
Jess WILSON (Kew) (10:02): Over the last two weeks I was delighted to be ambassador for the Servants Community Housing 5k for 5k challenge, an exercise challenge to raise funds for people at risk of homelessness. With four houses across Kew and Hawthorn, Servants provides a safe environment to its 95 residents and bridges the gap for those doing it tough. As part of the challenge I completed a different activity each day to involve our local community and raise much-needed funds and awareness. From almost making it to first base for the North Balwyn Stingers to climbing the 96 floors, or 1700 steps, of Australia’s tallest residential building, it was inspiring to see the strong community spirit getting behind this great cause. I would like to thank Boroondara Netball Association, Giant Steps, Kew Box Hill Hockey Club, Greythorn Primary School, Kew Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Kew Tennis Club, Balwyn Greythorn Jets Football Club and North Balwyn Stingers Baseball Club for helping me support this great cause. I would like to thank everyone who generously donated and Amanda, Jayden and the team at Servants for the amazing work that they do.
