Get your 2009 Walker Pack
We've had lots of queries about how people can register and show their continuing support for The Long Walk. This year there are a range of Walker packs available for supporters to get in the spirit of things, don the annual tee shirt (to be added to the growing collection), pull on your cap and show your support is close to your heart with the snappy new lapel pins. If the whole pack doesn't grab you, all of the items are available separately both online and at Fed Square on the day.

Get a Group Together.jpg)
Register your group's event and go into the draw for tickets to Dreamtime at the G and the chance to walk on the ground of the MCG with Michael Long!
Every group that registers their event will go into the draw to win four tickets to the game as well as four passes to be part of the 600 onground walkers in 2009. Groups must register by Monday 11 May to be included in the draw. The winners will be notified by email by Monday 18 May, 2009. This is an introductory offer and as groups continue to raise funds throughout 2009 they will be eligible for more great incentives such as footy memorabilia, Windy Hill tours and maybe even a player visit to schools and other organisations.

Other ways to be involved
The Long Walk relies on a large number of volunteers. If you would like to help out with tin rattling, packing orders, making volunteer packs and merchandise sales on the day find out how to volunteer here.
The Long Walk continues to gather financial support through various fundraising activities such as our key events, online giving, donations and sponsorship. We also gather support by networking with key partners and likeminded organisations like Essendon Football Club, AFL, Oxfam Australia, Reconciliation Australia and Indigenous Leadership Victoria.
