“On Saturday 31 May, Chris Crewther MP trekked the length of the Mornington electorate coastline to raise funds and awareness for Bowel Cancer Australia.

“The trek ended up being 27.6km, a bit more than the estimated 21km, so I could barely walk that evening and the next day.

But it was well worth it, raising over $3000 for Bowel Cancer Australia and with many people joining me on the trek – including walking, hiking, climbing, wading and swimming – to raise awareness.

Thank you to all involved, including my chief of staff and Bowel Cancer Australia ambassador Donna Hope – Community, local Jess who shared her and Dean’s story, and everyone who’s donated, trekked with me, joined our community stop (including local Sarah, her partner and Dean’s family), and more.” ~ Chris.
