The Cohuna Lions Club will be clocking up the k’s this Saturday when they participate in the annual Lions Lap the Map event. Lions members across Australia are aiming to collectively Lap the Map of Australia 10 times, while raising awareness and funds for diabetes.

Lap the Map will be raising awareness and funds for the Lions Australia Medical Alert Dog Program that provides Diabetic Alert Dogs to people with type 1 diabetes, free of charge.

To help them contribute as many kilometres as they can, Cohuna Lions Club members will be walking at this Saturday’s Cohuna parkrun and as a bonus, their tally will be bolstered by the distance covered by every parkrun participant.

If you’re a regular parkrunner or have been considering coming along, this is the week because not only will you discover what a great event it is, you will be contributing to a very important Lions Club cause. Donations are welcome following the conclusion of parkrun.
