I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

In 2022 our beautiful nana Joan passed away from dementia, but sadly because of the disease we had already been losing her for years leading up to this.

So I've decided this October I'll be raising funds for people with dementia in hope others dont have to go through what our family went through. I plan to run 5km every day during October (155km total) 

But I need your help! Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me reach my goal to beat dementia.

All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.

Thank you for your support.

Goal amount

Sunday 8th Oct
I've changed my goal amount to $1000 it was originally $500 and then $800, there has been some really generous people and I'm truly thankful. Fingers crossed I make $1000. 

Running has been mainly on the tready this past week, hopefully this upcoming one I can head outside and do a long one. 

155km for the month

Monday 2nd Oct
I originally thought I would do 5km a day but I've decided I'll do a mix somedays I may do more to make up for any days I've not been able too. 155km is the total I will be doing for the month 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ this is the same amount as I would've done doing 5km a day

Finishing that 5K was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I ate more fettuccini Alfredo and drank less water than I have in my entire life. People always talk about triumphs of the human spirit. Well, today, I had a triumph of the human body - Ashlie Scott

Every step you take in that charity run brings hope, every mile you conquer brings change, and every effort you make is a testament to the power of kindness.
