We will of course be offering refunds to anyone that has
registered or people can opt to donate their registration fee as it will
support the Angliss Hospital project. Please note any donations over $2

We hope people might also consider still
taking a walk or run in their local area on Sunday 19 April, in memory
of Constable Angela Taylor.

At 1.00pm on Thursday the 27 March 1986, a car bomb exploded outside the police complex in Russell Street Melbourne. As a result, young Constable Angela Rose Taylor took the full force of the explosion and later died in hospital. Angela Rose Taylor is, and will remain a symbol of all that is good in the police. Angela was committed to helping others in the community, our police and emergency services continue to demonstrate those values.
