Supporters of Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans (ACRATH) raised more than $10,000 for the charity at the annual Run Melbourne event on Sunday.

Members of the Friends of ACRATH gathered in full force, determined to raise money for the charity’s initiatives – including education, awareness campaigns, advocacy, and victim-survivor support programs – all dedicated to the mission of eradicating human trafficking.

The event saw participation from various communities and organisations, including representatives from Padua College Mornington, students from Sacred Heart Girls’ College Oakleigh, Thornbury High School, Fairfield Primary School and Allans law firm. 

ACRATH’s champion fundraiser was Fr Andrew Jekot and the parish of St Mary of the Cross in Mordialloc and Aspendale, who raised $4510. Fr Jekot was pleased he finished his run in good shape.
