Brig’s 28km Run for DV
I’ve set myself a challenge to run 28km at the end of March. What started as a personal goal, a way to push my limits, I wanted to make it something much bigger than just me.
I’ve decided to dedicate this run to supporting those in Australia affected by domestic violence. Too many people suffer in silence, trapped in situations they can’t easily escape. I want to use this challenge as an opportunity to raise awareness, show solidarity, and contribute to real change for those who need it most.
If you are in a position to help, no matter how big or small, your support would be greatly appreciated. Every dollar raised will go toward providing safety, resources, and hope for those rebuilding their lives.
Thanks Brig x
