On Sunday 13th December, Michelle, Andrew, Antoni, George and Shaun will be participating in the Virtual Melbourne Half Marathon and 10 km Events to raise money for Footscape.
Footscape is a fantastic charity that assists disadvantaged individuals and communities encountering debilitating foot problems.
Footscape has a range of projects, but we're most familiar with their Material Aid Project and Children's Orthotic Project.
At Fairfield Podiatry, we allow our clients to donate new socks to Footscape via the Material Aid Project, and we match the donations. Footscape distributes the new socks and foot care kits to disadvantaged people, including those that we assist at the Sacred Heart Mission Hands on Health Clinic. You can find out more about our volunteer work at Sacred Heart Mission here.
Antoni, our paediatric podiatrist, also works for Monash Health. In this role, Antoni helps disadvantaged children with leg and foot problems. Footscape funds the provision of orthotics and footwear for children whose families cannot afford to pay for these treatment options.
If you'd like to help us support this great cause, you can donate at the reception desk, and we'll match your donation!
