Stride for safety

I'm fundraising for...

I’m Robina Juanir, originally from the Philippines, and I now work as an early childhood educator at Discovery Early Learning Centre in Tasmania. Every day, I dedicate myself to creating safe, nurturing environments for children. Protecting children’s well-being isn’t just part of my job it’s my passion. I’m proud to work in a service that shares my values and is deeply committed to child safety and protection.

My running journey started in 2023 with Parkrun, and since then, I’ve pushed myself to new limits, completing both marathons and 103km ultra-marathons. Now, I’m taking on my biggest challenge yet: running seven marathons in seven days across seven states from 30th June to 6th July 2025. It will be physically and mentally tough, but it’s nothing compared to what survivors of child abuse endure.

Growing up in the Philippines, I witnessed the harsh reality of abuse, and I vowed that one day, I would make a difference. When I moved to Australia, I believed child sexual abuse wouldn’t be as common, but the reality was heartbreaking. More than 1 in 4 Australians have experienced child sexual abuse, and many children suffer in silence.

That’s why I’m running for Bravehearts, an organization dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse and supporting survivors. They provide crucial education, advocacy, and support services to help children and families heal. My goal is to raise $11,000 to support their life-changing work.

How You Can Help:

✔ Donate: The most important way to support is by helping me reach my $11,000 fundraising goal. Every dollar makes a difference in protecting children and supporting survivors.

✔ Running Shoes & Gear: Covering this distance means I’ll go through a lot of shoes. If you have access to good-quality running shoes, they will go a long way in helping me complete this challenge.

✔ Gels & Hydration: Proper fueling is key to running seven marathons. Any contributions towards running gels, electrolytes, or hydration supplies would be hugely appreciated.

✔ Recovery Support: Physiotherapy, massage, or recovery tools can help me stay strong throughout this challenge. If you know someone who can help, let me know!

✔ Spread the Word: If you can’t donate, sharing my journey and the Bravehearts mission can make a big impact. Every share brings more awareness to the cause.

Every contribution big or small; brings us closer to protecting more children from harm. Let’s stand together and make a lasting difference.
