On May 20th it begins. 4000kms. 65km a day for 62 days. Cottesloe beach to Bondi beach.
This journey is about more than distance. It’s about showing young Australians that strength, resilience and confidence is built by stepping out of your comfort zone.
That’s how I got here today. From the first time I put my shoes on to run a 5km a few years ago, I realised that taking that first step was the hardest. I realised that my body was capable of so much more than I thought.
I will be leaving on this adventure not knowing what to expect. Fearing the uncertainty of the challenge, yet still approaching it with confidence and determination.
I will become the youngest person to run across Australia.
I will raise $100,000 for youth mental health charity @zero2heroau while inspiring young people to get outside, challenge themselves and believe in themselves.
SEE YOU AT COTTESLOE BEACH 6AM FOR THE SEND OFF 🚀
Follow if you believe I can make it, and watch it unfold.
Much love 💙

IN 10 DAYS …
It all started 2.5 years ago when I ran my first 10km. I felt a difference sense of accomplishment which I hadn’t felt in a long time. I CHOSE to run that day, no external pressure, not to flex, but for MYSELF.
Excited, I ran again the next day, and again. Running became a daily form of movement, a chance to push my body to a new distance or speed PB, but most importantly time spent with myself, my own thoughts in my own head with no influence from others.
I quickly fell in love with pushing my body further than I believed I was capable of.
Which led me to running my first MARATHON on a random Friday morning with 4 days prep.
Then 6 months later running 10 marathons in 10 DAYS!
I wanted another challenge, a challenge which isolated me, to make me have even more time in my own head, by myself. NO support face to face with loved ones.
So I flew over east to run the Great Ocean road solo and unsupported. Carrying my few living supplies in a backpack and relying on the few small towns to eat and drink.
THIS MADE ME WANT MORE.
Now, in 10 days. I will be leaving to run the entire length of Australia. Becoming the youngest person to ever do so, setting a Guinness World record.
But all for a bigger reason. To raise money for youth mental health.
For me, it all started when I was young, 18 and unsure of what’s next in life. Pressured to take the next step STRAIGHT away, whether that’s uni, a full time job, etc.
Running was my way of figuring life out. Without watching what other people are doing on social media. So I want to inspire others to get outside, challenge themselves, and most importantly believe in themselves. In saying that, I don’t have life figured out yet.
So over the next 2 months while I’m running across the country, pushing my limits and learning more about myself and life. I hope to inspire some of you to do the same through any form of movement or exercise.
See you Wednesday the 20th at 6am 🤝

RED BULL WINGS 4 LIFE WORLD RUN TOMORROW!!
I love this style of run: you get a 20 minute head start from the chaser car, and then the car speeds up every 10 minutes. The aim is to outrun the car for as long as possible.
In 2024 I got 26kms running at about a 5m/km pace, which was the furthest distance I had ran to that day.
2025 I got 35kms averaging a 4:40 pace which is to this day the hardest I have ever ran in a race.
I wanted to get another PB but will hold off this year since my run across Australia starts in 11 days!
See you guys tomorrow!
