#youonlyrunwhenyourun - I'm fundraising for a great cause!

Help me make a difference!!

Starting with the Bay2Bay Half Marathon on 19 June on my doorstep in Blackwall and finishing on 11 December with THE RUN Port Stephens, I plan to raise as $2000 to help RUOK assist people who are struggling with life whilst walking amongst us every day! About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day. For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide.

RUOK ? s mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.

To date I have finished the following:

21 km Bay2Bay Half Marathon Woy Woy - 19 June

21 km Blackmores Sydney Half Marathon - 18 September.

21 km Bouddi Coastal Run- 12 November.

Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference!

..a Bargain is only a Bargain....

Tuesday 9th Aug

Lesson learned – I bought (because it was cheap) and ran 20 kms with a pair of HOKA CARBON X that was a shoe size too small, and ended up with Planter Fasciitis!!

Missed the Palm Beach to Manly run and also this coming weekends City2Surf. Working hard on getting ready for the Lake Macquarie Half Marathon on 28 August.

1 Down - 3 more to go!!

Sunday 19th Jun
Finished the  Bay2Bay today. First time I have done the race. It is a beautiful course - flat and fast . Running along the Brisbane Waters Foreshore .
I am getting back into shape, slowly but surely - watch this space!!
Thanks for the donations!!

OK, I am up and running - watch this space!!

At last, my fundraising activity is starting again!! For the first time since 2019 (pre Covid) I will be asking friends and family to support me in my effort to raise funds for RUOK, a charity/organisation that is close to my heart!! The  picture is one of my last effort a the Sydney Morning  Herald Half Marathon in May 2022 - WHAT A CITY!!
