Karen Smith Steps up for Menslink

Our Chief Operating Executive, Karen Smith, recently laced up her walking shoes and participated in the 2024 Menslink Great Walk.

From Tuesday 12 November to Saturday 16 November 2024, Karen covered an impressive 142 kilometers, averaging 20–35 kilometers each day.

The walk supports Menslink, an outstanding organisation dedicated to providing essential assistance to young men and their families in the Canberra community. Through mentoring, counselling, and educational programs, Menslink plays a pivotal role in helping young men navigate challenging times.

Karen’s participation in the Great Walk highlights her commitment to both personal and community impact. Reflecting on the experience, Karen shared, “It was such a privilege to participate in the Menslink walk—an experience that was both physically challenging and deeply rewarding.

The walk itself was tough, but what made it truly special were the conversations with my fellow participants. Sharing stories, supporting each other, and building connections along the way is what kept us all moving forward.

It was inspiring to see the strength of the community and the difference we can make together.”

But the journey doesn’t end at the finish line - there’s still an opportunity for you to get involved. Donations remain open, and every dollar raised goes directly to Menslink.

Your support will enable them to expand their programs and continue making a tangible difference in the lives of young men and their families.

Whether you donate to honour Karen’s achievement or to back this important cause, your contribution has the power to transform lives.
