My target 42 kms
I'm raising funds for people with dementia!
On 1 November I’m running the New York City Marathon for Dementia Australia. 42.2 kilometres, five boroughs, and a training schedule that has taken over my weekends.
My daughter chose the charity. Her great-grandmother is living with dementia, and one of my grandfathers died of it. We’re not unusual in that - dementia reaches most families sooner or later.
There is still no cure. What there is, right now, is support: counselling, support groups, education and training for people living with dementia, their families and their carers. Every dollar raised here goes to that work.
I set out to raise $10,000. We’re now past $30,000, which I did not see coming - and almost every donation has arrived with a message attached. Reading them has been the most humbling part of this.
If you can give something, I’d be grateful. If you can share this page with someone who might, that helps just as much.
Thank you for your support.

Chahid, what an incredible challenge you’ve taken on for such a meaningful cause! Running 42.2 kilometres is an achievement in itself, but doing it to honour your family and make a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia makes it even more inspiring. Your daughter's compassion and the personal story behind this journey are a beautiful reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can create a lasting impact. We are proud to support you with this donation and hope it brings you one step closer to your fundraising goal. Wishing you strength, determination and an unforgettable experience as you conquer the streets of New York. May God bless you, guide every step and give you the strength to cross that finish line with pride. We're cheering you on all the way! You've already made a difference before even reaching the starting line. 🏃♂️❤️👏
