NYC Run for Australian Firefighters

Donation protected
We're running a lap of Central Park on Sunday 12th of January at 10am to raise funds for the Australian firefighting services, who have been tirelessly fighting the relentless bushfires taking over the country. We feel so helpless being overseas and hearing stories from our friends and family, so we're doing what we can to send support from NYC.

Any donations, large or small, are greatly appreciated, and anyone is welcome to join us on this run!

All donations will go to the firefighting services of our three hometown states - New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

If you'd like to join us for the run, meet at 9:45am at the Columbus Circle entrance to the park for a 10am start. 

Lastly, if you want more information about these fires, here's a useful article summarizing the disaster:

In order to transfer the funds to these organisations listed above, I will be transferring the funds into my own account, and then paying via credit card on the websites listed above to donate the money. We will be splitting the funds equally between the three organisations.
