10km for Gumboot Friday — Wish Me Luck!

At the end of June I’ll be running a 10km to raise money for Gumboot Friday 💛

This cause is incredibly personal to our family. During a really difficult season, James was able to access equine therapy through Gumboot Friday funding, something that would have been completely out of reach for us otherwise.

Those sessions gave him connection, confidence, calm, and support when he needed it most. And honestly, they supported us as a family too. For us, it truly was a lifesaver.

Mental health support for young people matters so much, and Gumboot Friday helps make that support accessible for families who otherwise may not be able to afford it.

I know my fundraising goal is ambitious, but it’s based around the cost of these sessions. I figured if we can help even one family access support through the horses like James did, every kilometre and every sore muscle will absolutely be worth it.

So I’ll be running 10km to give back to an organisation that helped carry us through one of our hardest times.

If you’d like to support me and this amazing cause, I’d be so grateful for any donation, big or small.
