1M Walking for the Love of Earth, in Memory of Tara Hunt

NOTE: This year we are doing our annual special walk a little differently due to Covid-19. Due to social distancing restrictions we have up to 10 people walking every 15 minutes from 7:15am, so click Get Tickets to choose a time that suits you best.

'WALK WITH US' (in Sydney) or 'WALK WHERE YOU ARE'

On Sunday 7th November wherever you are in the world will you walk to connect with Mother Earth in loving memory of 1 Million Women Director Tara Hunt, who we lost on the 28th May 2017. 

It's been a challenging year so lets make this walk one to remember for the love of this magnificent earth. 

Tara loved walking in nature, and she really believed that this was the key to saving the planet. Connecting with nature and finding that love for it is what makes us so passionate about protecting it.

So please join us on November 7th, wherever you are and walk for the love of Earth and for Tara who loved 1 Million Women so much.

WE CANT WAIT TO SHARE THE DAY WITH YOU.

About Tara Hunt and the Fellowship

Tara Hunt was Co -CEO and a director of 1 Million Women. She was also a philanthropist. A special kind of philanthropist, a hands-on type who gave money but also gave herself. We lost her beautiful soul to cancer on the 28th of May, 2017. Strong and passionate, Tara never stopped believing in the power of women to change the world. She worked tirelessly to mobilise everyone she could in the fight against climate change.

The Tara Hunt Fellowship is to honour Tara and to help others discover their connection and love for our earth. We started up the Tara Hunt Fellowship in her memory.

Tara talked a lot about this fellowship before she passed away and it has been made possible through the generous donations from her friends, family and the 1 Million Women community.

#ImWalkingforTara  We hope you will join us.

A million thanks to Tara's girlfriends Colleen, Genevieve, Sally and Kim for bringing this walk to life. Their vision is it becomes an annual walk in memory of our beautiful Tara and her love of this planet and a time to reflect on our relationship with Mother Earth.

Tara Hunt, 12 Oct 1962 - 28 May 2017

'There is so much power in what we are doing - creating a mass movement of women and girls globally who are fighting climate change through their everyday actions and decisions.' - Tara Hunt
