Walk for the Cure
National Library Staff Raise Funds for the

National Library staff raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation

Any given day of the working week you can catch a glimpse of National Library staff taking their daily constitutional around Lake Burley Griffin. Often it is purely for the benefit of their own health, but on Sunday 19 October 25 staff members walked for another reason—to raise funds for the 100 000 Australians affected by juvenile diabetes. They slip, slap, slopped and marched the almost 5 kms (bridge-to-bridge) around the Lake and donated close to $4000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Joining them on the ‘Walk for the Cure’ were Jasper, the Jelly Bean Mascot of the Foundation, and hundreds of other community-spirited Canberrans. They finished the day off with music, dancing and a good feeling inside!
