I’m running a half marathon (against my better judgment)

As tough as the pandemic has been at times, I’ve never been more aware of how much harder others have had it, both here in Australia and overseas: the bushfires in 2020, the Afghanistan crisis in 2021, and the recent events in Ukraine to name a few. 

To avoid the overwhelming feeling of helplessness I’ve decided to run the Blackmores Half Marathon on Sunday 12 September to raise money for the Red Cross so together we can help more people in need.  

Those who have known me for any length of time will know that I once ran a marathon but unbelievably that was 11 years ago and I quite literally haven’t run since - so this won’t be fun but hopefully it’ll be worthwhile.

Any and all donations, no matter how big or small, are much appreciated - thank you so much for your support.
