STRATFORD resident and nurse Lauren Slayford has worked in a variety of healthcare roles, and has seen first hand the power that education, support and compassion can have on improving the lives of disadvantaged children in the community.
Teaming up with well-known domestic violence advocate Rosie Batty, Lauren and eight others will embark on a six-day trek across the rugged and stunning terrain of the Overland Track in Tasmania this month, raising money to support children recovering from the trauma of abuse and violence.
Under the banner of the Australian Childhood Foundation, the participants are self-funding their passage and stay in Tasmania, and donating all money raised to the foundation.

Actor Chris Hemsworth has been recognised for his service to the arts and his commitment to charitable organisations in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
The 37-year-old was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), with 1,190 Australian recognised in the list including 63 for their work on the frontlines of the pandemic response.
Hemsworth’s career began with roles on Neighbours and Home and Away in the early 2000s before his iconic turn as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The personable public figure, who on Sunday roasted his former Avengers cast member Chris Evans with a 40th birthday Instagram post featuring a photo of Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, has worked with charities since 2009 when he became a patron of the Australian Childhood Foundation.
