Rotary Club of Wodonga West will host the 3.8 With a Mate walk for Myeloma Australia from River Deck Cafe at Albury's Noreuil Park to Sumsion Gardens in Wodonga at 9am next Sunday.
The idea is to walk 3.8 kilometres to support the 38 Australians who who are diagnosed with myeloma each week. Around 20,000 people in Australia are currently diagnosed with the disease.
As the walk is approximately 4.5 kilometres long, participants have the option to complete laps of the lake at Sumsion Gardens instead.
