Distance for Dreams

The 2026 Bali Hope Ultra (AU)

We're fundraising for Bali Children Foundation

As Health and PE teachers in Melbourne, we are deeply passionate about ensuring every young person has the chance to learn and thrive. Every child deserves the opportunity to access quality education, and through our work we see first-hand how education can transform futures.

That’s why we are taking on the Bali Hope Ultramarathon, not just as a personal challenge, but as a way to raise vital funds for small communities in North Bali. This event is about more than running; it’s about creating lasting change, opening doors, and giving children the opportunities they deserve.

We are both excited (and a little nervous!) to take on the mental and physical challenge of pushing ourselves to our limits. Knowing the impact this can have makes every step worthwhile.

We would love for you to join us on this journey and donate, as together, we can make a difference to the lives of these kids. 

Thank you to our Sponsors
