Ray White Lower North Shore Group raises $265k+ for Giant Steps

The team at Ray White Lower North Shore Group has officially crossed the $265,000 fundraising mark for local charity Giant Steps, following the conclusion of their annual 10KADAY campaign.

Now in its fourth year, the initiative challenges participants to take 10,000 steps every day to raise funds and awareness for individuals living with autism and their families.

Since the campaign launched in 2023, the team has logged an extraordinary total of 89,112,998 steps.

Giant Steps operates without direct government funding, relying on community initiatives and public generosity to deliver specialised education and transdisciplinary support.

This year’s campaign is set to push past $50,000 with final major donations coming in, building on strong previous tallies of $75,042 in 2025, $90,239 in 2024, and $50,502 during the inaugural 2023 walk.

Ray White Lower North Shore Group Director Richard Harding said every dollar raised directly supports the organisation’s daily operations, care programs, and facility maintenance.

“Reaching over $265,000 raised and logging tens of millions of steps over four years is a testament to the incredible dedication of our community and team,” Mr Harding said.

“Because Giant Steps relies entirely on public support to deliver their life-changing care and programs, knowing that every step we take directly funds their day-to-day operations makes every single stride worth it.”

Ray White Lower North Shore Group Client Services Manager Irena Allen clocked up the most number of steps, walking a total of 456,372 steps, and averaging more than 15,000 steps a day.
