Alex and Lydia's run for cancer

Alex loves a challenge and this time he has convinced Lydia to join him!

On September 11th 2022 we will be running in the Trail Trilogy 100km and 42km events (respectively) with Charlotte signing up to a last minute half marathon and some other friends who are joining in on the 9km event.

We are raising funds for Dove Hospice & Wellness and the Cancer Society.

These two organisations have meant a lot to our families over the last year or so and it's easier to get out of bed at 5am in the middle of winter to train when you're doing it for a reason.

Dove Hospice & Wellness are based in Glendowie and although I have lived most of my life close-by I never knew it existed until a colleague of mine mentioned it. They provide amazing services including body therapies, physiotherapy, counselling, support groups and respite for people with life limiting conditions. I have learnt palliative care isn't just for people in their last days or weeks of life and there are some incredible people working at Dove Hospice & Wellness doing an amazing job.

We are also donating to the Cancer Society in memory of nanna Thelma. Thelm started running marathons at 60 years old and lived by the motto "I can do that"- and she did. The Cancer Society offers a wide range of free services to people and their families impacted by cancer.

We really appreciate any donation you can make.
