🌟 Excited to announce… 🌟
We are officially launching the Coast to Country Charity Walk – a journey of purpose, honour, and hope. 🥾✨
From October 14-24, 2025, our family will be walking 300km from Port Macquarie to Tamworth, raising $300,000 for the Country Education Foundation to support rural and regional students to access education opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.
This walk is in memory of Dad, the late Christopher Mark Murphy OAM – beloved father, grandfather, former manager of INXS, and a passionate advocate for young people and the land. His legacy inspires us to keep moving forward with courage and kindness, just as he lived.
💛 Why are we walking?
Because every step we take empowers a young person to dream bigger, reach further, and believe their future is worth fighting for – no matter where they live.
