My target 60 kms

More than halfway!

Despite terrible weather,  I've managed to get to about two thirds of my goal distance by today, August 18. Having a goal and a good cause to work towards has definitely got me pushing myself when it would have been way too easy to say, it's miserable outside, I will stay home.
As I am Sydney-based, I signed up in advance for the Bay Run, a 7 km run along the ParramattaRiver and over the Iron Cove Bridge. That was August 3, and it got me 7 km towards my goal, which was a good psychological boost. Getting soaked is more fun in a crowd!
Some of my kilometres have been done in the gym, and I am glad that I have that option.
Thank you, supporters, and hope others doing the run are encouraged by knowing you have lots of company!

I’m stepping up to restore sight!

I'm taking on Fred’s Big Run this August to STEP UP TO RESTORE SIGHT! 

My goal is to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation to continue the legacy of an Australian legend, Fred Hollows. 

Because right now, 9 out of 10 people who are blind don't need to be...

And an operation that costs as little as $25 can help restore sight to someone who is needlessly blind, and change their life forever!

Please make a donation and support my challenge to give the gift of sight.

Fred Hollows' dream was to live in a world where no one was needlessly blind, please sponsor my challenge and let's honour his memory together.

Thank you for your support.
