The wheelbarrow crossed the finish line with Riley Buchanan pushing it. Riley was a guest of his uncle Jamie and walked the whole 23km.
The club this year raised a total of $9,000 towards the town’s total.
“We are very grateful for the people who walked and especially the people who stopped to give a donation,” Apex member Greg Dickins said.
“The Our Town Balldale crew also put on a great event in the park and donated $400 to the walk, and the Balldale Hotel help every year.”
Mr Dickins also thanked the members’ partners who drove the support cars as without them, they could not do the event.
A well deserved beer after 23kms, doing it for the kids.
