Over eight weeks, Amy Banson walked 1,463 kilometres from Brisbane to Canberra.Amy decided to undertake the walk after caring for Clea Rose in the minutes after she was struck by a stolen car in the center of Canberra in July last year. Clea later died from the brain injuries she sustained as a result of this crime. By completing the walk, she hopes to raise awareness about ABI, and to raise money to fund respite care for people with ABI and their families. Walk with a Rose operates under the auspices of the National Brain Injury Foundation (NBIF), and is proudly sponsored by ActewAGL. All donations to Walk with a Rose are tax deductible. |
