Ben Kerr and Nathan Hardman Run the Wall

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Police Remembrance Day is held every year in September at the National Police Remembrance Memorial in Canberra and around the country. This year, two Hunter Valley Police memorialised their fallen comrades by running the 300 kilometres from the NSW Police Wall of Remembrance in Sydney to the Canberra Memorial. Maitland based Constable Ben Kerr and Newcastle based Senior Sergeant Nathan Hardman laced on their joggers and hit the road for the four-day run. This "Run the Wall" Challenge was organised by the NSW Police Legacy group to raise funds for the families of police officers who have died. The men ran between 68 and 85 kilometres on three of the days with a short sprint of 10 kilometres to finish the run. In all, the run raised $6,660 for NSW Police Legacy. Congratulations Ben and Nathan on your efforts.
