In June 2026, 11 incredible Barnardos Australia supporters took on the challenge of hiking the Great Wall of China, all with one goal: to help create brighter futures for children, young people and families.
Over five days, the group trekked across the iconic Great Wall, pushing through demanding conditions and temperatures exceeding 30°C. Every step was taken in support of children and families facing some of life’s toughest challenges.
Together, they raised an incredible $24,619, with every dollar helping Barnardos provide vital services that support children, strengthen families and build more hopeful futures.
Taking on a challenge like this requires determination, resilience and a huge commitment, and we’re so grateful to everyone who laced up their hiking boots and made the journey.
