I'm fundraising for leadership in the NT!
This May, 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.

5.5 Weeks to Go: Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk Update
Thursday 10th Apr
With just 5.5 weeks left until the 2nd Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, I’m excited to share an update!
Last weekend, Andrew and I completed a training walk at Girraween, getting ready for the challenge ahead. It was a great opportunity to test our endurance and enjoy some beautiful scenery as we prepare for the big event.
I’m still working hard to reach my $2,500 fundraising goal. The funds raised will help support a Territorian to undertake the Australian Rural Leadership Program—a valuable opportunity for rural leaders to create change in their communities.
If you’d like to contribute, you can donate via the link below. Every bit counts!
Thank you for your continued support! We’re getting closer!

Welcome
Tuesday 18th MarHi everyone, I’m Katie Zerner, and I’m thrilled to be part of the 2025 Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk to support the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP).
Every dollar we raise will go towards funding a scholarship for a Northern Territorian to participate in this life-changing leadership program. I’ve witnessed firsthand just how powerful the ARLP experience is—my husband went through the program, and I saw his growth, confidence, and the impact it had on our family, our community, and beyond.
I can’t wait to walk alongside an incredible group of people, connect with Country, spirit, and others on this journey, and contribute to something truly meaningful.
If you’d like to support this cause, please donate today—every bit helps to make this opportunity possible for someone in the NT.
