Fundraising for The Little Miracles Trust

Nationwide

The Tales from the Valley Podcast was recently started with the intention to bring attention to the running community on the South Coast of NSW Australia. Russ and Sam recap their training week to week in the leadup to Christchurch Marathon on the podcast and along the way want to raise money for a good cause.

We came across The Little Miracles Trust at another event last year and were extremely moved by the stories and the infrastructure and support The Little Miracles Trust provide to so many families in New Zealand. The least we can do along our journey is raise awareness and raise funds for a wonderful cause.

Goal Update  4 April 2024

Not far out now, has been an interesting few weeks.

Sam battles through a stress fracture in his shin, he only went for his first run back yesterday but has tried to keep up fitness with roughly 30 hours of cross training (elliptical, bike and aqua jogging) over the last 3 weeks.

Russ strings together some high mileage and big long runs, though fends off illness and is deciding whether a hit out in the Canberra Marathon 10k this weekend is the best call.

Sam has officially dropped to the half due to his shin injury (shinjury) and now has sites on a PB in Christchurch in his favourite race.
