What an epic weekend it was. I set myself a goal and it feels great to have achieved it. My goal was to get people talking and raising awareness around Mental health. I wanted to bring attention to the issue and help people stay strong when at times like feels tough.

I also wanted to show people that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to. Weighing 103kgs and having not ran for a decade meant this challenge was always going to be extremely tough – no doubt.

There were so many times when my body wanted to give up. The entire second 21k’s was excruciating to be honest. The last 10k’s I had to grit my teeth with every single step that I took as my feet and legs literally felt like they were going to explode.

Crossing that finish line and completing the full marathon in a time of 4 hours and 11 minutes without any form of training – there was honestly no feeling like it.

Then further to that seeing my goal also achieved this morning of raising the FULL $10,000 for Beyond Blue made all the pain so worth it.

Thank-you to every single person who donated and for every single message you guys sent me in support leading up to the event. It all helped!

I hope this event has shown people just how strong you can be in hard, torturous situations and I hope it has also inspired some of you to go out there and push yourself out of your comfort zone. Only when you get out of your comfort zone do you find what your truly made of.
