A Message from our CEO, Leah Taaffe

Welcome to our 56th Edition of the newsletter.

On Thursday 15 May, the past and present members of our CLRS Fundraising Committee gathered for a special morning tea at the Murray River Tea Rooms to celebrate an incredible fundraising milestone, raising more than $1 million since our first Annual Fundraising Dinner in 2007.

The group enjoyed a delicious morning tea and reminisced about how far the organisation has come and the incredible impact the money raised has had on our Opening Doors Projects – building homes for people with disability.

Run Echuca Moama 2025, our second major fundraising event for the year, is just around the corner. To register for the event click here – https://clrs.org.au/get-involved/runechucamoama/

We are also asking people to volunteer their time to support the running of the event. If you would like to volunteer, please register here – https://raceroster.com/events/2025/104665/run-echuca-moama-2025/volunteer/register

We are very excited to be adding something new to the course this year. We are closing the old Echuca Moama Bridge so that our participants get the unique experience of running across the old bridge as they come towards the finish line.
