60Ks in 1 Day! - My Walk for Michael

On Friday 31st October, I’ll be walking 60Km in one day for the Red Socks Run in support of the 15,000 Australians who spend 60hrs each month on dialysis, and in support of my son Michael who was born with Renal cystic hypodysplasia. 


Michael was diagnosed when he was only a few days old and whilst he is currently a relatively normal boy who loves all things cars it is likely that he will require increased treatment in the foreseeable future.


By donating to my Red Socks Run campaign you’ll be making a difference to families like mine who are directly affected by a loved one living with kidney disease. 


Your donation can help fund a welcome pack sent to a child recently diagnosed with kidney disease featuring a ‘Billy the kidney’ plushie, supporting day trips for Kidney Kids events and Kidney Health Youth programs all the way to supporting accommodation for families of those receiving Kidney Transplants through to the mobile haemodialysis Big Red Kidney Bus. 


This fundraiser is  really special to me and something which has personally helped our family so please follow my journey and if you have the financial means I would be so grateful for a donation to help me reach my goal of raising $1,500.

60Ks in 1 Day - All Mapped out

Wednesday 1st Oct
With a month left to go I've now nailed down my trail to walk 60Ks in 1 Day! 

This journey will take me from Morayfield to the Brisbane Botanical Gardens which I'm aiming to complete in approximately 11 hours.

Still lots of training km to do and much needed funds to raise!


Looking the part!

Monday 15th Sep
I recently purchased a bunch of official 2025 Red Socks Run gear to wear whilst doing my training walks and for the big day. Proud to say that I'll look the part!
