Running for 24 hrs for my birthday and EA
24/24
As some of you know I'll be turning 25 in July, so I'll be running for 24 hours straight before I stop being 24 years of age! I'll be running around Princes Park in loops for an entire day starting 8th July at 9 am till 9 am 9th July!
It is to promote the ideas behind the Effective Altruism movement, and to campaign a fundraiser around that! I've been interested in it for a long time and am keen to show people how to do as much good as possible with what we have and how not all donations are equal.
"It’s both a research field, which aims to identify the world’s most pressing problems and the best solutions to them, and a practical community that aims to use those findings to do good." - (What is effective altruism: https://www.effectivealtruism.org/articles/introduction-to-effective-altruism)
The connected charity Effective Altriusm Australia will duistrobute your donations to the most effective charities based on evidence and need!
It is also to get my friends and the community moving and it's something I'm very passionate about, so if you've always wanted to run your first 10km or your first marathon even, mark the day on your calendar and come join me because I'll be running very slowly and I'll be out there for a very very long time!!
My goal is to raise $2400 dollars hopefully, $100 dollars for every hour I run!
Thank you!
