On October 5, 2024 I will be running in the Sydney Backyard Ultra in an attempt to run my first ever 100km ultra marathon. Throughout my training and race I will be raising funds and awareness for Lifeline, in memory of a close friend and incredible human, Angus Bownes. Angus was an adventurous outdoors man. He was a committed athlete, embarking on many hikes, triathlons, runs, cycles, paddles and swims. He never did anything without a smile and always helped others along the way. Tragically we lost Angus in May 2024, at the age of 29. In honour of Angus I want to take myself out of my comfort zone and push my body to run 100km. Lifeline is a charity which does crucial work in suicide presentation. For anyone in a position to donate, you will help provide support to people across all of Australia who are feeling overwhelmed, lonely or facing a personal battle. The Sydney Backyard Ultra will be held at St Ives Showgrounds on Oct 5. Whether you are able to donate or not, I would love to see all your faces at the event to help get me across the line. Thank you all so much, This ones for you, Gus
