Running For Chris
Our beautiful friend Chris O’dea passed away recently which was a huge shock to anyone that knew him. He was amazing and we all miss him so much.
Instead of bringing flowers to the funeral the family asked us to make a donation to a charity of our choice in memory of Chris.
So, I decided to use a running race that I’d signed up for to raise money for The Leukaemia Foundation. Although Chris didn’t die from Leukaemia, the reason I chose The Leukaemia Foundation is from being involved with Bloody Mission events. They put on great/ridiculous races that I love and all the money they make goes to the foundation.
The race I’m doing is a Backyard Ultra (Last Person Standing race) starting on Sept 20th, 8am.
You have to run a 6.71km loop starting on the hour, every hr. The last person standing wins, everyone else DNF’s.
I’m shooting for 48hrs which will be a distance of 200 miles (321.86km). The furthest I’v run is 176kms so 145kms extra sounds pretty extreme. Chris was an extreme kind of guy and I’m pretty sure he would love this madness. I can hear him saying “f**k yeah Bazzy” with that cheeky smile.
I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.
Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.
I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease.
The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives.
Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.
