Help me save little lives, support families and fund vital research.
Family and Friends, I have been thrown a challenge to participate in running the Mudgee Marathon,
Running has always been something I really enjoy, it allows me to challenge myself and take time to reflect on life..
I experience a sense of gratitude and appreciation for everything that happens around me and it open my eyes to how to be a better person everyday.
A marathon has crossed my mind before but I know is going to take absolutely everything I have and maybe something I don’t have to get to the finish line.
I completed half a marathon in June 2021 and it was one of the most rewarding experiences especially doing it alongside one of my closest friends as well as my twin brother, but what was more rewarding is having my family there to support me and seeing their smile at the finish line.
I have taken on this challenge in faith, and I am a strong believer that challenges are the only way to growth. I’ve been challenged so many times and I’m ready to take this one head on !
My inspiration on this challenge will be my Angel Luca, who is flying in Heaven.. we lost Luca to SIDS the age of 3 months and I would do anything to see him again or give him a hug..
Leading up to Red Nose Day I’ve decided to set a goal where I can raise money for to support this amazing foundation and do what we can to help in anyway to hopefully one day find the answer that so many people are looking for to reduce any chance of this unknown cause that takes away children who we love the most
Luca is going to be on my mind for the entire duration and together we hope to make a difference.
I am running for you my boy ❤️
Thanks in advance for your support
Love always
Shadz
