Our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved.
Thank you for getting your family and friends together for our annual ‘Walk for Love’ as we remembered our loved ones and raised funds to support the care and programs for patients and families in the Mary Potter Hospice.
Every dollar you raised through your sponsorship will help the patients and families in the Hospice when it is truly needed the most.
Trophies will be awarded to our best fundraisers at our September AGM and will be advised shortly!
We thank our existing sponsor Chemplus and welcome our new sponsor Blackwell Funerals. We are very pleased to have both of their support for our walk. We thank Chemplus and Blackwell Funerals for their great community spirit, for caring and kick starting our fundraising campaign!

Updates from the 2010 Walk for Love
Thank you Adelaide - We did it, we exceeded our $40,000 target and raised $59,000!
Last year we partnered with Everyday Hero to make online fundraising and registration possible and very easy, and were overwhelmed by its popularity. Thank you to everyone who took the time to set up a hero page to remember and celebrate the lives of those you love. Even the weather could not dampen the spirits and enthusiasm of our walkers.
Walkers were greeted on completion by the smell of a Barbecue and fresh fruit, water and juices from our friends at Baa Moo Oink, Lenswood Cold Stores, Ralph Ceravolo, Neverfail Springwater and Nippy's respectively. Thanks also go to our friends at Fridge it refrigerated couriers, who generously transported all of our chilled produce to the Foundation from across the city at no charge.
Every dollar you raise through your sponsorship will help the patients and families when it is truly needed the most.

More about our ‘Walk for Love’
The annual ‘Walk for Love’ is one of The Mary Potter Foundation’s biggest fundraising events supporting the vital care and programs provided to patients and families spending time in the Mary Potter Hospice.
This community event has been running for over 23 years and normally around 600 people take part in the 7km walk around picturesque North Adelaide.
Families and friends will walk or ride together in memory of their loved ones as they raise money in appreciation of the care and support they were provided by the wonderful team in the Mary Potter Hospice or in their homes through our community outreach service.
The walk culminates where participants will enjoy a fundraiser BBQ and live music.
Thanks to our friends at the following companies for their ongoing support of our 'Walk for Love'.
