Claude ‘the mowerman’ Harvey is a dedicated and passionate volunteer for Bravehearts and will be visiting Gayndah, Mundubbera, Eidsvold and Monto between 25 July to 31 July.  Bravehearts is an Australian child protection not for profit organisation, solely dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse. Over the past 13 years, Claude and his lawnmower have become a regular fixture on city streets and he has trekked all over Australia.  His reason for such extraordinary endeavours is simple: “I want all Australians, in every town and village, to be aware of child sexual assault, and to ensure the many victims of child sexual assault (1 in 5 children before their 18th birthday) are believed and supported”. Claude has raised $1,356,336 so far with a goal of $2,000,000! You can check out his poster here. Claude will be arriving in Gayndah on Monday, 25 July.  If you see Claude around with his mower, stop by for a chat and help raise funds for a worthy cause!  You can follow Claude the Mowerman’s journey on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ClaudeTheMowerManMedia Contact 1300 696 272 | media@northburnett.qld.gov.au
