I'm fundraising to support Orange Sky

On any given night in Australia, over 122,494 people are experiencing homelessness, with many more experiencing hardship every day.

I am supporting Orange Sky, a not-for-profit organisation who support everyday Aussies with access to free laundry, warm

showers and a space for genuine connection through conversation.

I'd love your support by making a donation to my fundraising efforts. Your support will help ensure Orange Sky's volunteers can continue to show up at more than 350 weekly shifts to provide laundry, showers and connection.

This is what I'm going to do:

I'm going to go as far as I can in the Sydney Backyard Ultra. Based at St Ives Showground, it's the ultimate physical and mental endurance race. Starting at 8am on Saturday 19th September, I'll run one 'yard' (6.71km) on the hour, every hour, until I've got absolutely nothing left. The race continues until there's a last one standing. I'm going to go as far as I possibly can.

Any donation amount to Orange Sky would support such worthy cause - and help me get back up to the start line again, and again, and again...

Any donations would be welcome prior to the event to motivate me, during the event to get me back at the start line, or gifted if (nah, I'll say 'when') I reach a set number of yards.

The website includes runner updates, a link to race streaming on YouTube, and the option to send messages of encouragement to runners on the day.
