This September saw not for profit disability service provider Northcott host several highly successful Walk with Me events around New South Wales with the biggest event in Parramatta attracting a crowd of close to a thousand people and leading to road closures in Market and Church Streets.

Walk with Me is an annual event hosted by Northcott which encourages communities to unite and walk alongside people of all abilities, while encouraging a better understanding of disability and promoting social inclusion.

The Parramatta Walk with Me event commenced at the Riverside Theatre and ended in Centenary Square where the exuberant crowd were then entertained by Australian Idol winners Wes Carr and Damien Leith. 

Other Walk with Me events took place in Campbelltown, Wagga Wagga, Moree, Tamworth and Dubbo with several hundred people taking part. For more information see www.northcott.com.au/news.
