Half way - hello from QLD!

It’s just clicked over into week 3, and with all your help not only am I on track to surpass my 100km challenge but have totally SMASHED my fundraising goal!! Thank you so much for all your support and being the reason more people will have their sight restored through the continued work of The Fred Hollows Foundation.

I’m in Brisbane for The Australian Ballet's season of Sleeping Beauty this fortnight & gosh the weather makes it so gorgeous to be out for not too cold mornings and gorgeous sunsets… 

Thanks again - really appreciate your help with this challenge! (Hip currently not giving me any grief either!).

Ready to go!

This Friday I start my Fred’s Big Run challenge and need your help to raise some much needed funds to restore sight to those who shouldn’t be without in our modern world.

I’ve had a little hip injury flare up this month but have a doctor on the case to ensure I’m getting back asap. One of the side effects of getting older, I suppose..! Β Still hoping to make it through 100km and anymore I can muster as I get back to strength.Β 

Would love your support - $ or running pals. It’s still a lot of ks and always better with company.. please reach out! Hoping to make a small difference to others this August.

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.
