Russell's Run for First Steps Himalaya

  • Up and Running

      16 October 2025

    Thank you all for your generous contributions, absolutely amazing to have hit $2,500 so early on!

    My training has started in earnest this week, with 17 weeks until the big run. I also completed the Cape Kidnappers Half Marathon a few weeks back: 21km with 750m elevation, completed in 2:33. This was a good hit out and has given me some confidence and a proper taste of what climbing does to your legs.

    Thanks again for all the support - roll on $3,000!!

  • $1,000 Raised!

      18 August 2025

    We have had amazing support, a huge thank you to all the generous legends that have backed me so far. As of writing this post we are at $1,139 which is roughly the wages of a teacher for a whole year; a full classroom of kids has a year's education provided because of you.

    The best part is we still have ages yet to go, so I have increased the goal to $2,000. I hope we can smash this second stretch goal too, let's go!
