"The Great World Race"

7 Marathons. 7 Continents. 7 Days. One Mission. 7 Charities.

Hi, my name is Ivan, and I’m taking on one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world, 7 marathons, on 7 continents, in 7 days, planned for 2027.

But this journey isn’t just about running.

It’s about purpose.

Yes, it will push me physically and mentally further than I’ve ever been pushed before. It will test my limits, my resilience, and my will to keep going when everything says stop.

But the real reason I’m doing this is to raise money for those who need it most.

I’m aiming to raise $250,000 AUD to not only make it to the start line, but to support children through 7 chosen charities.

7 Charities that have focus on Kids Sport, Education & Mental Health.

Every step I take, every kilometer I run, is for something bigger than myself.

For kids who deserve a better future.

For opportunities they may never otherwise have.

For hope.

I want every extra dollar raised to go toward making a real difference giving this journey a purpose far beyond the finish line. All funds will be shared transparently along the way.

Why am I doing this?

Because I believe we’re all capable of more than we think.

Because ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

And because if I’m going to push myself to the limit, it has to be for a reason that truly matters.

If you can support this journey, I’d be incredibly grateful.

If you can’t, sharing this message means just as much.

Together, we can make this something far greater than a race.
