5K a Day for 50 Days – Finishing Strong for a Cause

At the start of this journey, running 5 kilometres every day for 50 days was simply a personal challenge – something to push myself mentally and physically. As I near the back end of this goal, it has grown into something much bigger.

Along the way, I crossed paths with Jermaine, who has been taking on an incredible challenge of his own: running 34 marathons in 34 consecutive days to raise awareness and vital funds for the Black Dog Institute. His mission is to shine a light on mental health and support the research that helps young people better understand and manage life’s challenges.

Inspired by his commitment, I want to dedicate the final 7 days of my 50-day challenge to helping Jermaine reach his fundraising target. Every kilometre I run in this last stretch will be for this important cause.

Mental health touches us all, and the work of the Black Dog Institute is making a real difference. Jermaine’s goal is to raise $50,000 to support their Future Proofing Studies, giving the next generation the tools they need to navigate tough times.

If you’re able, I’d love your support in helping us get there. No matter the size, your donation will contribute to something that truly matters.

Thanks for backing me through this journey and for supporting Jermaine’s incredible mission. Together, we can turn every step into a step forward for mental health.
