Keep an eye out for Claud and his Mower.
Claude ‘The Mowerman’ Harvey OAM will be travelling through Forbes on or around the 9-11th of December 2023. Raising awareness and millions of dollars for Bravehearts, an organisation which campaigns for child sexual abuse prevention Claud was born in Kempsey, NSW in 1945, he became an active and dedicated Bravehearts volunteer after watching footage on the news of a paedophile being arrested for sexually assaulting a child. Having seen this he thought, “We all would like to hurt the perpetrator, but how many of us would think to help the victim?”.
Bravehearts is a great organisation and for more than a decade Claud has rolled his well-worn mower around the streets, pubs, beaches and tourist strips of the Gold Coast.
In 2008, I capitalised on growing popularity by completing a four week walk from the Gold Coast to Sydney, collecting donations along the way.
If you happen to see Claud on his travels in the area, be sure to stop and say hi and donate if you are able to.
