About
ALARMINGLY THERE HAS BEEN OVER A 400% INCREASE IN ABORIGINAL CHILDREN BEING REMOVED FROM THEIR FAMILIES SINCE THE END OF THE STOLEN GENERATION. SHOCKINGLY ONE-THIRD OF ABORIGINAL CHILDREN LIVE IN “OUT OF HOME CARE” – THE HIGHEST NUMBER EVER RECORDED.
In August this year, I will run 189 kilometres across Kangaroo Island to raise awareness concerning Aboriginal foster children in South Australia. The marathons will be run over four consecutive days and I have been in rigorous training since January.
In 2014 I ran 105 kilometres non-stop for the same cause, establishing a fund providing money to give a number of Aboriginal foster children the opportunity to pursue their interests including dance, singing and netball with many achieving great success.
Money raised from my Kangaroo Island marathons will be placed in this fund to ensure that many more Aboriginal foster children will have the opportunity to grow and follow their dreams, which will enhance their prospects for a bright future as they enter adult life.
