Project 1000 - Philippines Edition

IT'S BACK! Yes we are doing it all again.

Hi, I'm Natalie Dau (@Rockstararms) and from May 25th - June 5th 2024 I ran 1,000kms, across 3 countries (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore) equaling 2 marathons back-to-back every day over 12 days. Doing this I set a Guinness World Record, but it was about so much more than a record.

In the process I raised money in support of empowering women and girls around body image and physical movement, and made school visits along my route to give out scholarships to children in need.

So on April 21, 2025 Project 1000 v2 is going to see us tackle the Philippines this time. Same 1,000km goal, same 12 days but a whole new set of challenges and an all female crew. Starting from the top of the Philippines at San Vincente, down the west coast and passing through Manilla to finish at Batangas. The cause remains the same - to raise funds for children to give them access to sport and education.

At 52 years old, I aim to demonstrate the power of ambition, empowerment and movement to unite people across cultures and communities, proving that age is no excuse not to follow your dreams and make a difference.
