Hi everyone
The St George Melbourne Marathon is being held on Sunday 10 October 2010.
This year we are taking part in the 42.195km RUN 4 REFUGEES marathon to help Asylum Seekers in Australia.
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre is the largest provider of aid, advocacy and health services for asylum seekers in Australia. They are a voice for social and policy change; and their campaigning work sheds light on the real impact of laws and policies on asylum seekers' lives. The centre works directly with asylum seekers, both living in our community and detention, to provide direct aid and support as they seek asylum in Australia.
