WE DID IT!!!!! Thanks to all of you, we have been able to give over $200,000 to First Nations, Palestinian & Sudanese mutual aid.
We managed to raise $201,066.15 AFTER fees 😱🤯
This was way beyond our wildest expectations... with an initial goal of $150,000 (already so ambitious) to raise more than an extra $50,000 in the last few days is such a testament to what we can achieve together.
Thank you to everyone for your belief and support.
Please stay in touch with each of our recipients.
Follow @westmalleeprotection@oreda6501 & @bakri2 💓
Stay tuned here for more updates soon 🙏🏽🙏🏿🙏🏻
We've updated our flyers and posters to include all the fun we'll be having together on February 1st!
All are available to download and print in A4, A3 or A2 via the drive link in our bio.
You can help us spread the word and raise as much money on the day as possible by continuing to share this updated poster online, or get out your scissors and distribute them IRL 😱
Even if you're not running, you can support by letting people know about the event, coming to support friends, or spending some money at the market, bake sale, food stalls or massage tents and hearing from organisers and recipients of these Palestinian, First Nations and Sudanese mutual aid projects!

All funds raised from the #funrun4mutualaid will go directly to those who really need it.
Split evenly between Osama's Gaza evacuation fund, West Mallee Protection and mutual aid in Sudan for food, water and other necessities.

Hi! It's been a minute since the fun run, but we've been busy at work, and we finally have this guide ready for you, about how we ran the fun run.
There is a need for more grassroots mutual aid organising and community spaces willing to completely divest from corporate and state capture & capitulation.
We’re not trying to gatekeep so we’ve spilt all our secrets and chaos 🤪 from how the ideas came to be, down to the finer details of our branding kit, the accounts we used and the supplies we bought.
We would love our ideas and our learnings to be shared, so that we can all continue to try things and empower each other.
Our recipients are still asking for support.
Osama has a new instagram account @osanova_oredax so please follow his accounts and support him by sending him a message of support or donating via his bio links.
Stay in touch with Aunty Sue and Bakri's campaigns via @westmalleeprotection & @bakri2 ❤️🔥

Osama (oreda)From Gaza, I’m starting this account again after losing my previous accounts and the people I was connected with here.
This place has always been my way to stay connected with friends who supported me with kindness and encouragement during the hardest times.
If you knew me before and found this post, I hope you leave a message or follow so we can find each other again.
Your support and sharing can help this account reach the people I lost contact with.
I still believe that real connections can find their way back, no matter how long the distance or silence lasts. 🤍

YOU'VE ALREADY RAISED $197,000- What's another 3000??? 😉
We need $6000 in 2 days to reach our $200k goal........ let's do the math.......!!! 🧠
💰 That's 15 people raising $500 each.
💰 Or 30 people raising $250 each.
💰 Or 60 people raising $125 each.
💰 Or 6 people calling up their favourite org, rich uncle, sugar mama or trust fund baby for $1000 each. 😅
What can you do to help us reach our goal in 2 DAYS?? We are so close!! 😭
Keep donating via bit.ly/funrun4mutualaid ❤️🔥 every bit counts for our Palestinian, First Nations and Sudanese mutual aid recipients!
On Sunday, we (@ash.plce , @thea_thms , and @toyo.au ) completed our 5km fun run with the @funrun4mutualaid after raising $1221 as a team. Our team, the ‘Wholefoods runners’, is so incredibly thankful to all the people that contributed to the really important causes!
Fundraising isn’t done yet!! If you can, please still contribute 🫶🏼
Mutual aid is so important in turbulent times, and while we can never fully express our gratitude to all the people that sponsored us, we hope that it is not your last time engaging in mutual aid 🫶🏼
A HUGE thanks to the organisers of the fun run, to @huongtru (one of the top 3 fundraisers!!) for the encouragement on the track, and to @hartless.jpg for the photos.
