Quick as Thieves Marathon

I'm stepping up to help restore sight!

Currently 43 million people around the world are blind but 9 out of 10 don't have to be!

I need your help - a simple procedure costing as little as $25 can help restore sight and change their life and the lives of their families and communities for ever!

On Saturday, 11 May 2024, I will run in the Quick as Thieves event together with Mike Toner, and I am committed to raise enough funds to help restore sight to at least 40 needlessly blind people!

Please support my run - Your donations will ensure more training of local eye doctors, nurses and health workers, creating a sustainable health care system in the communities that need our help the most.

The Fred Hollows Foundation's work has a very clear purpose: to make sure everyone, whether they’re rich or poor, has access to high quality, affordable eye health as we enjoy right here in this country.

Together, you and I can change lives, thank you for your support!

Marathon #2 👀🏃🏻‍♂️

Thursday 18th Apr
In just over 3 weeks I’ll be running my second Marathon (42.2kms) organised by Quick as Thieves to raise money for The Fred Hollows Foundation!

This run will be taking place at Albert Park Lake on Saturday 11th May (also my birthday 🥳🎈) and I would love nothing more than for those who were wanting to donate to my run, to do so TODAY

💙👀TODAY IS DOULE DONATION DAY 👀💙

Whatever you donate from 7am TODAY (THURSDAY 18th APRIL) will be doubled by an anonymous donor 😮 Double donation means double the vision. $25 restores the gift of sight for one person, so even donating as little as $25 tomorrow, you will be giving the gift of sight to two people 😍 There are Currently 43 million people around the world who are blind, but 9 out of 10 don't have to be! 

Your donations will ensure more training of local eye doctors, nurses and health workers, creating a sustainable health care system in the communities that need our help the most.
