About

My Massive Murray Paddle will now start in November 2023

Covid changed so much in 2021.
Who could have predicted the level of flooding in the Murray River in 2022.
Here is to 2023 being my year to race MMP415 - bring on November.

It will be amazing! River flooding may mean there are some small changes to checkpoints but am looking forward to seeing what the course looks like particularly with the changes that make it 415kms along the Murray River over 5 days - wonder if anyone will notice the bonus 11kms! It looks like there could be more than 300 people registered to paddle solo or in teams for this years race and we will all fundraise for our chosen charity or community group.

Spending time working in Mildura has opened up a unique opportunity to train for this race on the Murray River.

At this stage my fundraising will still benefit Mildura Base Public Hospital (MBPH) going towards a children's play space connected to the new Children's ward. In February this year I joined the team at Mallee Accommodation and Support Program (MASP) in a full time role in the finance team - there might be some MBPH and some MASP fundraising.

In Sydney we have on our doorstep access to so much specialist medical support regional hospitals service their community so well but there are limits. From Mildura it is more than 600kms to a Melbourne Hospital or just over 400kms to Adelaide.

The (new) Mildura Base Hospital opened in 2000, and in September 2020 the operation of the hospital transferred from Ramsey Health Care to the Victorian State Government and was renamed Mildura Base Public Hospital.

Funds raised for my paddle will go directly from you to the Mildura Base Public Hospital.
