500km Run – From Sydney to Wirrinya

I'm fundraising for...

In December 2024, I lost my mother, Elizabeth Thurston, to lung cancer. Her first symptoms and diagnosis came out of nowhere, and we were lucky to have another 18 months with her before she passed.

So this year, I decided to do a Misogi challenge. That's a big scary challenge that both excites and scares you. I figure why not use this as an opportunity to raise money for lung cancer and lung disease sufferers and research?

So I'm going to run from North Head in Manly to my sister's farm in Wirrinya in NSW Central West. According to google maps, it should be about 420km. But I suspect it'll be over 500km by the time I'm done.

Anyone can get lung disease. It affects 1 in 3 Australians and is the second leading cause of death. Lung Foundation Australia is the only charity in Australia providing support and a voice for people with lung disease, their families, carers, health professionals and the general community.

Please support me in raising funds to support patients and families impacted by lung diseases. 

Thank you.
