Together we raised $140,000 for
Bali Children Foundation

You will be surprised what you can do

Limiting beliefs are the only thing that stand between you and your achievements.

As you follow my journey, I hope to make you believe that you can do anything.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is start... self-talk gets in the way

Well, I’m here to give you new self-talk that says you can

If I can do this, anyone can do anything!!!

Follow and believe…

And Love Your Life.

Bali, Indonesia

Together with a small group of runners I set out to cross Bali through the night.

Running 80km coast to coast.

All with one goal in mind.

To help the children

Why?

$50 is the average income of families living in poverty in Northern Bali

Most children go without education because of the costs associated

Leaving them unemployable as they reach employment age

Creating an ongoing cycle of poverty

THE POVERTY CYCLE

Bali Hope Ultra was created to help raise awareness to these communities and generate fundraising efforts in the hope to break the poverty cycle

  • $50 will give a child 1 term of education

  • $100 half a year

  • $200 a full year

Funds also going towards building facilities required

Together with Bali Children Foundation 10’s of thousands of people have been helped out of a life in poverty.

This was nothing like anything I have ever done before.
It’s bigger than big!!

I trained for 6 months to be ready to undertake the endurance required of this event. Increasing my mileage on a weekly basis. Reaching 47km as a training run.

And it was bigger than just lacing up your shoes and heading out the door.

  • I returned to running only 12 months before I started training.

  • It had been 13 years since I had run due to a neck injury. Dr’s had told me I would never run again

  • I had to re-learn how to run 5kms. And ended up completing Melbourne marathon in the same year.

  • So with ‘the girl is back’ attitude I wasn’t stopping there

  • I decided I need to use what I can do to help others. Turn the negative into a positive.

And here I am!!

So, let’s do this together…!!
Because a world supporting each other is a world empowered
