Why am I fundraising...
I'm James Sanford from Eastern Victoria, Australia.
I've always enjoyed being active and challenging myself, whether that's through running, sports, or taking on ambitious goals that push me out of my comfort zone.
In early 2026, I applied to join the Bravehearts 777 Marathon National Team and was recently excited to learn that I had been successful.
In June 2027, I'll be taking on the ambitious challenge of running 7 marathons in 7 days across 7 Australian states, pushing me physically and mentally while raising funds for an important cause.
As part of this bold challenge, I am committed to raising much needed funds for Bravehearts. Your donations will support Bravehearts' work to educate, empower and protect children, while helping to prevent child sexual abuse across Australia.
This journey is about testing my limits, embracing an incredible adventure, and using that challenge as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact to an important cause.
If you'd like to support my 777 journey, every donation, large or small, will help me reach my fundraising goal and support the important work Bravehearts does for Australian children.
I look forward to sharing the challenges, achievements and memorable moments along the way.
Thank you for supporting me on this journey, whether through a donation, sharing my page or simply cheering me along from the sidelines.
7 Marathons. 7 Days. 7 States. One Important Cause.

My Updates
Corporate Sponsorship
Thursday 5th NovAlongside individual donations, I’m looking for businesses that would like to join me on the journey through one of two corporate sponsorship opportunities.
· Silver Sponsorship | $500+
In recognition of your support, I will proudly:
Acknowledge your business across my social media channels and fundraising platforms.
Feature your logo on my fundraising page and promotional materials.
Promote your business on my training apparel throughout my preparation.
· Gold Sponsorship | $1,000+
For businesses wanting to make an even greater impact, there are seven Gold Sponsorship opportunities, with one sponsor dedicated to each of the seven marathons.
Gold Sponsors receive all Silver Sponsorship benefits, plus recognition as the featured sponsor for one marathon and its host city.
For your sponsored marathon, I will proudly wear your branded apparel at the finish line, in the finisher photos and updates across my social media channels, acknowledging your business contribution throughout that marathon.
