Monthly marathon makes a difference




Hello, my name is Michael Quinn. I immigrated to Australia almost 8 years ago from Ireland and I work as a Stone Mason.

A few weeks ago I came across a charity in Canberra where I live called raize the roof.

This is a local charity which is building a house in Canberra through fundraising and the donation of time and materials, with all proceeds going to support seriously ill children in the ACT and also orphaned children in Botswana. I had the opportunity to help out along side a group of other local stone masons on the project.

When I met the Dal Cortivo family and the other volunteers involved in this project, I was totally inspired with all their hard work and dedication. I knew there was more I could do to help as well as helping with the construction work.

So...I am taking on the challenge of running 12 marathons over the next 12 months, here in Australia and in America; six ultra marathons and six normal marathons. 

I am hoping to raise enough funds to help pay off the land on which the house is being built. Each donation gets us closer to buying the land:

A gift of $50 will buy 12cm2 of the land

A gift of $100 will buy 25cm2 of the land

A gift of $1,000 will buy 2.4m2 of the land

My goal is to raise $50,000 over the next year! Your support would be greatly appreciated by all of us who support the wonderful work that raize the roof do.

Thank you for reading my story and if you would like more information on this worthy cause, check out the website at: www.raizetheroof.org.au

Back to the pavement I go.
