SHEPPARTON Legacy Club proudly hosted the Legacy Torch Relay last Saturday. Celebrating Legacy’s centenary, the Torch Relay began in France in April and passes through much of the country, including Shepparton, before continuing to the Shrine of Remembrance.
Legacy is one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted charities. Their tireless support for the families of those who gave their lives or health for their country has had a positive impact on Goulburn Valley families, helping widows of servicemen with financial hardship, living with dignity at home, as well as health and safety.
The relay was officially launched at Shepparton Art Museum, with the cutting of the ribbon. 17 torchbearers carrying the torch through to Legacy House at 20 Edward Street, Shepparton. Where the official lighting of the cauldron took place. Torchbearers include Legacy Widows, Legacy Wards, and Legatees, and the Shepparton Legacy Torchbearers all have their own unique stories on how Legacy has helped them over the years.
