Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, spent last weekend taking part in the Murray Meander which raises funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and the Otis Foundation which provides retreats for women with breast cancer.
Mr Walsh joined other Nationals Members for part of the week long ‘tinnie’ trip from the Port of Echuca to Mildura.
“The Murray Meander has been running since 2006 and has become an enormously popular event,” Mr Walsh said
“It not only raises funds for two extremely worthwhile causes but provides an opportunity for participants to work together for a common cause.
“The Nationals team has been working hard to secure sponsorship and to raise funds for the event,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to rejoining the Meander on Friday morning at Robinvale after spending this week in Parliament,” Mr Walsh said.
The 2010 Murray Meander which is conducted under the auspices of Echuca’s Horizon Committee began on Saturday February 20 and finishes on Sunday February 28.
