Leadership on Larapinta Fundraising Walk 2026

I'm fundraising for leadership in the NT!

This July, I’m taking on the Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, trekking 100km through the stunning Larapinta Trail to raise funds for a Central Australian leader to participate in the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP).

The ARLP is a life-changing 15-month leadership program that builds skills, confidence, and networks for leaders in rural, regional, and remote Australia. But not everyone has access to a scholarship, which is why I’m stepping up to help fund one.

🎯 My goal is to raise $2,500, contributing to our shared goal of $55,000 to fully fund a scholarship. 100% of funds go directly to the scholarship.

💙 Please support me by donating today! Every contribution makes a difference.

Achieving 100 kms at 50!

Monday 27th Apr

Hi my name is Deb Tidey, originally from Mornington Peninsula in Victoria where I lived with my son. We moved to Alice Springs end of November 2022 for what was planned to be a year of adventures. Whilst it hasn't quite gone to plan, we are now 3 years in the Red Centre. With my son graduating Secondary College at the end of 2025, and now I've decided at 50 years old, I’m keen to really step outside my comfort zone and take a leap of faith, embracing the Larapinta Trail, walking with others, learning about ourselves, finding strength and having a go! I'll be with a team of 8 walking 100kms in July. I can't wait to see where my strength and courage will shine from to get me over the line! I’d love my networks support to help me fundraise for an NT ARLP scholarship.

Thank you to my Sponsors
