Blake's marathon for The Hunger Project Australia
On Sunday 13 October, I will be running in the 2019 Melbourne Marathon – the full 42.195km.
As part of this, I will be raising funds for The Hunger Project - a global, not-for-profit organisation which empowers men and women living in rural villages in Africa, India, Bangladesh and Latin America to end their own hunger by unlocking their creativity, leadership, entrepreneurialism and productivity.
Why The Hunger Project? They do great work – teaching a man to fish is always more valuable than giving him one. But also, funds raised will go towards a $10,000 fundraising target that Tamsin (my wife) has set for herself, after being selected to join 19 other women travelling to Ghana in 2020 as part of the Business Chicks Leadership Immersion Program. You can read more about that at https://join.thp.org.au/event/business-chicks-ghana/home.
Thanks so much for your support.
