Day 8 – Over Halfway to 150km and Feeling the Love 💛

Eight days into Fred’s Big Run and I’m feeling so grateful — I’ve already reached my fundraising goal thanks to the incredible generosity of friends and co-workers. Your support means so much, and it’s been such a boost to see donations come through, including a couple of double donation days that really fired me up!

A fun milestone this week was receiving my official Fred’s Big Run t-shirt in the mail for hitting my first fundraising target. I’ll be wearing it proudly on a run next week (photo coming!) as I continue to log the kilometres.

Today I ticked over 84km — more than halfway to my original goal of 150km. But you know me… my real aim is to push for 200km by the end of August, finishing strong at the Sydney Marathon.

Thank you again for cheering me on — every step I take is powered by your generosity and belief in the cause.

Day 1 – Kicking Off Fred’s Big Run! 🏃‍♀️

Today marks the start of Fred’s Big Run, and I’m excited to be part of it again this year! I’ve set myself a goal of 150km for the month of August — but I’m quietly aiming for 200km if the body and spirit hold up.

I’m running not just for the challenge, but because I believe deeply in the work of The Fred Hollows Foundation. My friend Dr Yadira Perez, who is the Head of Operational Research at the Foundation, inspires me constantly. I’ve seen how passionate she is about her work — particularly across the Asia Pacific — and how committed she is to improving eye health outcomes in communities that need it most.

The donations that have already come through today mean the world to me — they’ll keep me going through the long training runs and all the way to the Sydney Marathon at the end of the month.

Thank you for your support — let’s make every step count.

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.
