Running For Eternity - A World Record Run to Save our Church

Why I’m Doing This
Years ago, my life looked nothing like it does today.
I was trapped in addiction.
I was living in crime, violence, and darkness.
I was angry at the world... and myself.
Who I Am Now
Today, I’m a husband, a new father, a youth mentor, and a motivational speaker.
I speak to schools, prisons, corporates, and communities about breaking free from labels, addiction, and destructive patterns... because I’ve lived it.
Why the Run?
There’s a small church in our village.
It’s the last one left.
Right now, it’s about to be sold to developers.
If that happens, it won’t just be a building that disappears, it’ll be a place of hope, prayer and legacy that’s lost.
I want my daughter, and the kids in our community, to grow up in a place where there’s still a church in the village.
A place to worship, to gather, to find faith when life gets hard.
So I’m doing something extreme to help make that happen.
The Challenge
This December, I’m running 890km from Coolangatta to Cronulla... on foot in 21 days
That’s a marathon a day, with a hip replacement in my past.
It’s never been done before at this distance, post-surgery.
I’m attempting to set a world record to draw attention to the cause & raise the funds needed.
The Goal
We need to raise $300,000.
$260,000 to purchase the church and stop it from being sold off.
$40,000 to help refurbish it so it’s a safe.
More Than Just Us
If this campaign goes above $300,000, every extra dollar will be donated to Youth Off The Streets, to help more young people break free from cycles of poverty, crime, and addiction.
Join Me
If you believe in faith, family, and community… If you want to be part of something bigger than just one run…
I’d love your support. Whether that's cash, sponsorship, or prayers.
Let’s keep the church doors open, for local families, and for generations to come.
God bless.
