I will run for Gideon, as always!

I'm fundraising for kids with brain cancer!

This September, I'll once again be running 18km (a very auspicious number!) across Melbourne with Team Gideon to raise money for paediatric brain cancer research in honour of my gorgeous nephew Gideon, who died in 2019 at the age of 9, a year after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme. Each year we get a little closer to a cure for this terrible disease, which remains the most fatal cancer for children in Australia.

I've been so honoured and touched by the support for my fundraising efforts, which keep me hoofing it around Melbourne every year:

2019: 18km fun run - $6,752
2020: 100km across the month of September - $6,694
2021: 120km across the month of September - $11,428
2022: Brooklyn to Manhattan run thwarted by COVID (Run for the Kids long course instead, in early 2023) - $4,801
2023: 18km fun run - $5,585
2024: 18km fun run - $4916 and counting!

Thank you to my Sponsors
