William’s Walk is a yearly charity event that is held with Arthritis NSW to raise awareness and funds for children with Juvenile Arthritis.  William’s Walk is dedicated to a brave little boy, named William Harris, who passed away from Juvenile Arthritis.

My husband, Clint Paddison, is an ambassador for Arthritis NSW, and was thrilled to host the event for the 2nd year. We both enjoy getting involved , and this year I was able to contribute photography for the event and provide the yoga warm up for both walks.

This year William’s Walk extended to a whole weekend to include two events on Saturday at Bondi Beach and on Sunday at the International Regatta Centre, Penrith.

William’s Walk Bondi Beach – An incredible walk that began at world famous Bondi Beach and extends through the Eastern Beaches of Sydney to Bronte Beach. The weather could not have been better with incredible blue skies and sunshine to sparkle against the water. Pretty priceless! Lot’s of little ones and families gathered in a beautiful gathering of community spirit and shined in their support of William’s Walk. The morning was filled with Clint’s warm hosting, a special Tai Chi demonstration, Joel Ozborn’s comedy, Rising Light Yoga’s warm up, & the fun dance beats of Zumba all to the rolling waves of Bondi. I loved how people gravitated towards the event and surfers even joined in with their boards taking a rest on the lawn. Happiness was abundant as Little Ones danced and had their face painted. The walk began and it was beautiful to see all of the red shirts with William’s rainbow walk into the distance along the sea cliffs in their effort to raise funds and awareness for Juvenile Arthritis.

My personal take away was the joy and laughter that I saw on so many children’s faces and to share the incredible spirit that sufferers of Arthritis carry with them.
