Join Karinya House for the 9th Mercy Walk for Women being held online and across the Canberra Region over September 2021.
Every woman who is pregnant or parenting a baby should be surrounded with the support she needs.
One of the main supports is time. Karinya House invests time to support each individual woman they walk alongside.
Karinya House invite you to walk 23 kilometres during September and share with the Karinya Village photos of you and your walking trails. You might choose to walk the 23 kilometres across the month or all in one go on 26 September 2021 – the date nominated for this year’s walk (pre-Covid!).
Register as a Walker or Donate to a specific walker or team online here.
“Funds raised directly support individually co-designed services for women who are pregnant or early parenting. Together, we are their village.”
The Boorowa based organisers of the Mercy Walk for Women have considered holding the walk again in real time, however organising a covid-safe plan proved a step too difficult, given the ‘must have, country style’ morning tea, as well as the post walk celebrations and the port-a-loo arrangements. The decision was made to again hold the 2021 Mercy Walk online.
Your registration for this event is a tax deductible donation. You will also be able to seek sponsorship donations as well. You can register on line as an individual. Teams can also be established. This year, Karinya House suggest as you register, you might make an initial contribution of $50 per individual. This will be a tax deductible donation.
All the information is on the Event Platform. Registrations for the 2021 Mercy Walk are now open – online! Go to the link below and check out the FAQs for more information on how to register or sponsor a walker.

The 2020 event was supported by 105 participants raising $14,621. This total was matched in full by our Corporate Partners! Karinya House would love each one of you, and beyond, to join us on the 2021 Mercy Walk for Women. All funds raised through the 2021 Mercy Walk will be matched as part of the Double Up Appeal running concurrently through September.
