In our seventh year, the "Back in Shape" running group will be conducting their annual October Running Challenge, this year to raise money for Ruah Community Services.

Ruah have been working with vulnerable people for more than 60 years. They have a bold and colourful history and are renowned for delivering practical, creative solutions for people experiencing homelessness, family and domestic violence and the challenges of living with chronic mental illness.

Ruah partner with government, business and other health and welfare agencies to innovate, developing new evidence-based models of care and driving social change.

As advocates, they are reframing the narrative because of their passion for ending – not just managing – complex social issues like homelessness, domestic violence, and the challenges and disadvantage attached to poverty and mental illness.

The group will aim to run 10,000km with a goal to raise $20,000.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
