🔥 He’s 10 years old… and already making a difference.

Tonight at Council we had the privilege of welcoming Harley Elliott, who came to speak to us about the incredible work he’s been doing to support White Ribbon Australia.

Last year Harley set himself a challenge: 30 kilometres in 30 days.

Through determination, and the support of our community, he raised more than $8,000 to help end men’s violence against women. An extraordinary effort for anyone… let alone someone who is just 10 years old.

But Harley isn’t stopping there.

This April he’s going even bigger,
2 kilometres every day for the entire month, raising awareness about bullying prevention and supporting Dolly’s Dream.

It was truly special to welcome Harley into the Council Chamber tonight and hear him share his story and the experiences that inspired him to take action.

Young people like Harley remind us that leadership doesn’t have an age limit.

And the best part?
Next month I’ll be joining Harley as we climb Mount Macedon together as part of his challenge. ⛰️💪
