Help 30 Children through school in Bali!

I am super excited to be heading to Bali in 2023 to compete in an overnight 84km coast-to-coast non stop ultra marathon. Yes, that is right, no sleep and no cocktails at finns beach club this time round, I am here for a bigger purpose. .

Bali holds a special place in my heart as it was where I lived and worked as a fitness retreat instructor and completed my yoga teaching course in 2016. Since then, I have been lucky enough to travel back to Bali and attend the first ever Bali Hope Ultra Marathon. Through this experience and working with the Bali Hope team, I have gained a new perspective on how Covid destroyed the country's economy, which is based predominantly on tourism, and the flow on effects it had on its younger generations.

Even though I have run on every continent in the world, Bali's piercing heat, inconsistent thunderstorms and suffocating humidity make it one of the most difficult places to run 5km let alone 84km overnight. Normally, I am running for myself and for the team behind me, this time I am running for the disadvantaged youth of Bali who no matter what life throws at them still seem to be some of the happiest people on Earth. As a favourite destination for Aussie travellers, I am sure you have all seen or experienced how amazing Bali is but how it's also filled with such poverty. Please help me in this great cause the Bali Hope Team inspired me to embark on, and donate as much as you can. 

Only $220 helps put a child through a whole year of school and $100 helps to feed them for 3 months - a small amount can have a massive impact!

If you want to know more about the marathon or tell me about a cause you are passionate about please email me directly @....... I look forward to hearing from you all!

Much Love,
