Walk My Way Ukraine – Report Back

On Saturday 11 May, an inspiring group of Queenslanders stepped out at ALWS’ first Brisbane Walk My Way Ukraine and sent a bright message of hope to Ukrainian children and families displaced by war.

The sight of hundreds of blue shirts ambling through the heart of Brisbane and the incredible generosity of supporters sent a powerful message of hope to Ukraine, a message that was received with grateful hearts by Lutheran World Federation (LWF), our international partners on the frontline in Ukraine. 

“I saw the pictures of you after the event and my heart was full of joy!”
Mark Mullan, LWF Country Representative Ukraine

In fact, Mark Mullan was so moved by the efforts of walkers that he wanted to send a personal message of thanks. You can watch Mark’s message for you, direct from Ukraine, below.
