Walk for missing toddler

IT’S been a year since William Tyrrell went missing from his grandma’s home in Kendall, NSW, and local communities around Australia are coming together to join the search for the toddler.
The Eumundi Rotary Club and the Eumundi Rural Fire Brigade will join forces with locals to Walk4William and raise awareness of the missing boy on Saturday 12 September.
Rotary Club of Eumundi event organiser Melissa Isles said the club hoped the community would join the campaign to raise awareness for William.
“He was taken from his nanna’s front yard a year ago on 12 September in NSW,” she said.
“Police are hoping someone somewhere knows something that can help locate William. The more people who are made aware, the more of a chance we have of finding little William Tyrrell.”
Walkers are asked to wear blue and red in honour of William who loved Spiderman.
“We’ve heard one of his favourite things to do was dress up in his Spiderman costume,” she said.
“Perhaps walkers could wear a Spiderman costume.”
The Walk4William will be held on Saturday 12 September at the Eumundi Amphitheatre at 10am for a 10.30am start.
Walkers will travel from the amphitheatre on Memorial Drive towards the top of town and finish at the Eumundi Rural Fire Brigade station, where there will be a sausage sizzle, Spiderman cake and coffee and tea.
The cost to participate in the walk is a gold coin donation with all funds collected going directly to the Where’s William charity.
Walkers can register by searching Eumundi at www.whereswilliam.org.
