Blue Dragon friends around the world walk for change
September 18, 2026
On September 13, thousands of people around the world joined the Blue Dragon Walk.
The Walk is a global event, organised together with our friends at The Intrepid Foundation, raising money to create a world where all children are safe to thrive.
The proceeds will bring people home from slavery, keep kids in school, provide young people with vocational training, and protect communities from human trafficking.
People can walk as far as they like, wherever they like, whenever they like. Some, like Tony in Tasmania who is now in his 90s, gathered a few friends for a short stroll in their local community. While others like our friends at APT Travel who organise the Walk in Melbourne, hosted hundreds of people and provided lunch.
Whether you run a mountain marathon or walk 5 km with a few friends, you are part of a global movement that is changing the lives of children and families in Vietnam.
From Australia and Singapore to the UK and the USA, people shared photos and stories of their adventures, inspiring others thousands of kilometres away. While Blue Dragon co-CEO Skye walked 21 km in Hanoi, her fellow co-CEO, Vi, was down in Melbourne for the big day.
“This year, I walked again in Melbourne alongside our friends and supporters,” he shares. “The weather was fantastic and it was wonderful to see so many old and new faces join us. We walked along the beach, took photos, and had a great lunch where I shared more about Blue Dragon’s work in Vietnam and what it means to protect children there. I was overwhelmed by the care and generosity people continue to show Blue Dragon. It means so much to have such strong allies standing with us in the fight against human trafficking and in protecting vulnerable children in Vietnam.”
So far, we have raised nearly $340,000 – and there are still groups around the world yet to walk. Over the next few months, many more people around the world will walk for change.
If you’d like to get involved, there’s still plenty of time to organise your own walk. Just follow this link and create an event whenever and wherever you like!
