Fireworks for Fred

Some great news: The Fred Hollows Foundation was announced today as the charity partner for the Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations.

According to the City of Sydney, the Sydney New Year’s Eve is the biggest event in Australia and is watched by 1.5 million people at the Harbour Foreshore, 2.6 million people across the country and 1.1 billion people worldwide.

This is a wonderful opportunity to tell the people of Sydney, Australia and the world about the work and life of Fred Hollows.

Park Life vs Park Run

Sadly for Ben and me, the 30 September 12 hours race in Centennial Park has been cancelled due to an open air concert. Race  has been re-scheduled for 23 September which is a weekend I will not be able to guide Ben. At this stage we are sourcing some other guides and Ben will decide this week what he wants to do. In the meantime we are training hard in the cold weather for the City to Surf in 4 weeks time.

Back on the road

1st July meant for Ben and myself the time has come to get back on the road for our next challenge and that's what we just did today. Our first couple of rounds in Centennial Park in the freezing cold was not the ideal start but we are ready for what's to come. In August we need to better our City 2 Surf time from last year, Ben also wants to run the Half-marathon over the Harbour Bridge and than end of September we have a new challenge to tackle - 12 hours non-stop running during the CPultra in Sydney. 12 hours running for Fred and raising money for The Fred Hollows Foundation and Sydney Achilles Club. Watch this space for more details.
