Day 3 - Legs beginning to tire, and my heart is cracked wide open
Wednesday 2nd Jul Another 14km done. That makes 42km in three days.Today tested me—physically and mentally. I shared in my stories that I was struggling. My body hurt, and my headspace felt heavy. But not long after posting that, it hit me how selfish and small that moment of discomfort really was.
Because I’m choosing to do this.
I get to run. I get to stop when I want.
The kids I’m running for? They don’t get to opt out.
That realisation sank in hard. And honestly, it made me feel a bit ashamed for complaining—even briefly—about something that pales in comparison to what so many children endure in silence.
It cracked my heart open a little more.
I’m sharing this not for sympathy, but because I think it’s important. Awareness doesn’t always come with comfort. Sometimes it comes with guilt, sadness, and the urge to do better.
This run is no longer just a fundraiser to me—it’s a reminder. That we owe it to kids to do more, speak louder, and fight harder.
Thank you to everyone who’s donated so far. Your support means everything.
And if you haven’t yet—please consider it.
We’ve got more running (and more changing) to do.
