Pip Groom

The 2025 Bali Hope Ultra

I am running 84km overnight coast-to-coast across Bali to help lift-up a disadvantaged community in Bali with the award-winning Bali Children Foundation. Please support me by donating. 

$220 puts an elementary school child through a scholarship for one year.

$100 provides food support and essential vitamins for a malnourished child for 3 months.

♡ 🏃🏻‍♀️⋆₊ 

Like so many expats and tourists, I’ve soaked up everything Bali has to offer — the good food, cheap massages and incredible warmth of the locals. People often call it paradise, and in many ways, it is. But beyond the tourist hotspots, some local communities are left behind. These realities are easy to ignore, but I’ve chosen not to.

One of the most powerful ways to break cycles of poverty? Education.

I’m running the Bali Hope Ultra in support of Bali Children Foundation — an organisation that helps disadvantaged locals access education, graduate and gain employment. 

If you’ve ever visited Bali or simply believe in the power of education, I’d be so grateful for your support. Every little bit counts.
