Go An Extra Mile
Most feel some apprehension at the thought of driving to Sydney, but uni student Catherine Burke plans to go one step (or pedal) further and do it on her bicycle. In a colossal fund-raising ride, Catherine will pedal out of Adelaide in late June 2008, making it to Sydney in time for World Youth Day. The ride will raise funds to bring a group of pilgrims from Vietnam to Adelaide for Days in the Diocese and then on to Sydney for WYD. The project will also support Indigenous pilgrims from Melville and Bathurst Islands to come to World Youth Day. Catherine will visit towns and parishes along the way, building support for WYD. Her journey has been split into individual miles which can be bought by parishes and individuals wishing to contribute to the cause. Behind the ride is diocesan group Unite Adelaide, which runs monthly meetings for young adults. Unite Adelaide aims to send a group of youth to visit the pilgrim partners in their home parishes to mark the 1 year anniversary of World Youth Day in 2009.
