Maddies Marathon

Hello all!

I am running the Melbourne Marathon this October to raise money for the Lung Foundation.

I want to clarify that I am not a runner but have always wanted to complete one. I figured this year was the right time to do so.

The Lung Foundation is a cause very close to my heart and is an excellent organisation focusing on lung health.

Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer in Australia, with only 17% of Australians surviving five years after their diagnosis.

Lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer: It kills more people than breast, prostate and ovarian cancers combined.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men diagnosed with lung cancer have no smoking history. If you would like more information on the lung foundation, have a look at their website: https://lungfoundation.com.au/

Any donation, large or small, would mean the world to me, so thank you in advance!
