Leadership on Larapinta Fundraising Walk 2025

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.

Walking for Leadership, Friendship & Wellbeing

Tuesday 18th Mar

Hi everyone, I’m Louise Martin from Tambo, Western Queensland, where my husband and I are sheep and wool producers. This year, I’m stepping up for the Leadership on Larapinta FUNdraising Walk, and there are two big reasons why I’ve taken on this challenge.

First, I’m turning 60 this year! This walk is my commitment to staying fit and healthy as I get older, reminding myself of the importance of movement, wellbeing, and adventure. Trekking the stunning Larapinta Trail is the perfect way to mark this milestone.

Second, I’m walking alongside my great friend Donna, who I met during the Australian Rural Leadership Program (ARLP). The ARLP was life-changing for me—one of the best things I’ve ever done. That’s why I’m proud to support this fundraiser, which will provide a full ARLP scholarship for a Northern Territory participant to experience the same incredible leadership journey.

I’d love your support! If you’d like to donate to the ARLP scholarship fund, click the link below. Every dollar makes a difference!
