So far I’ve completed 0 Ks for Kids this August

Why I’m Doing Ks for Kids

I wouldn't have run 100km total in the past 10 years so... this will be an experience, $7.50/km and a potential heart attack, what more could you ask for.

but more importantly...

Did you know that 1 in 20 Aussie kids are born with a genetic disease or birth defect? That’s one in every classroom!

This August, I’m taking on the Ks for Kids challenge - walking or running to raise funds for Children’s Medical Research Institute, supporting scientists who are working today to find cures for tomorrow.

Your donation will help keep labs running, research advancing, and hope alive for kids who need it most.

Every step I take is for them. Your donation will help me go the distance and fund vital research!

Let's make it interesting... $5000

$750 is an alright target, but I've been thinking, why not aim higher, and put a few check points in along the way... 

$750 = 3km/day 
$1500 = 4 x 25km runs (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th weekend)
$2500 = 2 x 50km runs (2nd and 4th weekend)
$5000 = 1 x 100km run (the day after target is met)

For those that don't know, I don't run, I don't like running, I avoid running so even 3km/day is probably a stretch. 
But make those donations and I'll push through some psychological barriers and get it done.

Get those donations up to $5000 and I'll probably end up "running" for 24 hours straight, blisters, shin splits, stress fractures, what a time to be alive.
