Amanda’s Goggins Challenge for Lifeline

For some silly reason I’ve decided to do the Goggin’s 4x4x48 Challenge; 4miles (6.44km) every 4hours for 48hours or a total of 48miles (or 77.25km) in 48hours. I’ll be starting at 4pm on Thursday May 11, and continue to slog away every four hours, 12 times over, until 12pm Saturday May 13.

David Goggins is a retired navy SEAL, turned ultramarathon runner who has used this platform to create various challenges, and raise money for charity.

In this spirit, I have decided to raise some money for a charity very close to our hearts. If you have a spare $ or 2 we’d be very, very grateful if you could sling it to Lifeline Newcastle and Hunter. Tragically, suicide is still the leading cause of death in Australians aged 15-44. Without Lifeline volunteers, who receive over 1million calls every year from Australians in crisis, this figure would be much, much higher. Your donation will help to fund training and infrastructure for the 3500 volunteers working for lifeline, who work so hard to ensure no Australian has to face their darkest moment alone .
