Julie's walk - Extended Families Community Walk
Julie Langdon
Julie's walk - Extended Families Community Walk
Story
Hi everyone, I am fundraising for Extended Families Australia. I know first hand the great work the organisation does to support children with a disability and their families, right across Melbourne; with extensive volunteer matching and other programs it really makes a difference in children's and families lives and builds genuine inclusion. Supporting this fundraising event will help children develop skills and confidence, build self esteem and fully participate in our community.
The Extended Families Community walk is on April 17th. We all have different challenges. I have set myself the goal to walk at least 10 kms. Ok it does not sound much, but it is more than I have walked in recent years with knee and back issues.
You can help me raise much needed funds by donating, or come and join in on Sunday April 17th for a fun walk (or run) around the Maribrynong River at Essendon and help raise funds as well.
Thanks
Julie

Extended Families is a not-for-profit organisation operating across Metropolitan Melbourne. We create positive community connections for people with a disability, and provide meaningful support to their families - we believe everyone deserves to be included and connected!
Our work focuses on expanding social networks, empowering individuals, promoting inclusion, and strengthening connections within local communities.
Families supported by Extended Families have access to a wide range of flexible programs, including:
- Individualised matching with volunteers or support workers for capacity building, social, recreational, and respite support.
- Capacity building programs that develop self-determination, self-advocacy, and independence skills.
- Inclusive playgroups for Vietnamese and Chinese children and their families.
- Case management and support coordination to help families navigate the service system and access the right supports.

All our programs are designed to introduce children and their families to new opportunities, help them build skills and friendships - and importantly - have fun.
