Walk to save a life – Trek 4 Timor 2025

It’s not easy to put yourself into someone else’s shoes but in some small way that’s what the participants in the Trek for Timor are doing.

We are trying to imagine how hard it is for the people in Timor Leste to have to walk many kilometres to seek medical attention. So we walk to raise funds to support a mobile medical clinic that visits rural remote villages in Timor Leste to improve the health and well being of people who otherwise may not be able to make the journey by themselves.

This year’s Trek 4 Timor Perth is happening on Saturday 17 May starting at Mt Pleasant Uniting Church and walking to St Stephen’s Applecross Uniting Church around the beautiful Swan River. There are three recommended routes, ranging from 4.5km to 7.2 km with a sumptuous afternoon tea at the end.

It’s a great time of fresh air, exercise and fellowship. You can bring your dog, ride your bike, scooter or mobility machine. If you can’t participate, please sponsor someone in your congregation or make a donation.

We’re trying to raise $15 000 for the annual donation to Fundação Lafaek Diak (The Good Crocodile Foundation), our partners in Timor Leste.
