ACWW Women Walk the World
WOMEN WALK THE WORLD FOR ACWW
Members throughout the world are being asked to join in ‘Women Walk the World for ACWW’. The aim will be to raise ACWW’s profile and to raise funds.
Everyone will start their walk at the same time in different time zones. This will result in members walking at all times during a 24 hour period. Where possible, members should seek local sponsorship.
This is a very important day, so please take part - for your own health & for the health of ACWW.
For more information please go to Women Walk
