Run to Zero

My Activity Tracking

0
kms

My target 95 kms

I'm walking this 95 km this July for every person in Australia who dies from a heart attack, one every 95 minutes.

This July, I'm starting from a 95km goal and walking towards zero. 

I need my fundraising tally to rise as I count down each kilometre, so I'm asking for your help. Please donate.

Every 95 minutes, someone loses their life to a heart attack in our country. That's why I'm choosing to support the Run to Zero campaign.

Give me motivation to reach my walking goals, while helping fund Heart Foundation's research and healthcare programs.

I acknowledge the support of many of you for one or more years for my efforts to support the Heart Foundation. 

Last year my Heart Hero/ines - as I call my donors - so generously encouraged me in so many ways. 

Our financial outcome was inspirational. I have attached our tallyboard - look what we did together!

Let's see what we can do this year. Even with the number of rainy and stormy days when I can't walk, I am confident I will reach 95kms!!

I have a spring in my step. My first four donations just arrived! My Heart Heroines who also love noticing the moments of beauty in everyday.
 
Things just got real, as is said.

Your reward is a glimpse of my morning walk.

I've already started training! This is what misty pre-dawns look like!!

Thursday 28th May

💓 Today  I’m launching my 7th year fundraising for the Heart Foundation. 💓

 

In July, I’ll be walking 95 kilometres as part of this year’s Run to Zero campaign.

 

I'm walking this 95 km this July for every person in Australia who dies from a heart attack, one every 95 minutes.

 

Each morning, before much of Sydney wakes, I’ll head out along the coast or in the parks in the predawn light — slowly, steadily, one step at a time.

 

Over the years, these walks have become far more than fundraising. They’ve become moments of reflection, gratitude, community and hope. Last year alone, 67 generous donors helped raise more than $6,000 for heart research. 


Across seven years, this wonderful community of Heart Hero/ines has now contributed well over $22,000.

 

I’ve fallen in love with the slow magic of persistence — the predawn light, the empty paths, and the quiet joy of simply continuing.

 

Why the Heart Foundation? Because research saves lives. People close to you. People close to me. Perhaps even ourselves one day.

 

Although the walking begins in July, donations are now open for anyone wishing to support the campaign — and donations before 30 June are tax-deductible this financial year.

 

Thank you for walking beside me once again. 💗
