OVER $4K RAISED FOR THE ROYAL CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL!!
Honestly, how good is this!!
When I decided to run the Melbourne Marathon and raise some money for the Royal Children's Hospital, I never imagined we'd raise over $4,000. Absolutely unreal!
The RCH means a lot to me personally. When I was just a baby, they were there to help me out. Obviously I don't remember much from back then, but knowing what they did for me makes it pretty special to be able to give something back.
Finishing my first marathon was an awesome feeling, but knowing we've raised this much money for such a great cause and the baby or child it might help makes it even better.
It's pretty crazy to think that the money we've raised could help another kid and their family when they need it most, just like the RCH helped me all those years ago.
Massive thanks to everyone who donated, shared my page, sent me messages or cheered me on!
I never thought we'd smash the target like this. Couldn't have done it without you all!
Legends, every single one of you!
