I have decided to run from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast for a variety of reasons:
1. To Challenge myself. A few years ago I had chronic fatigue and with a healthy, plant based diet I have healed and now encourage others to follow a plant based diet
2. I want to show people that anything is possible. A few years ago I was very unfit and couldn't run for the bus!! I am not a natural runner but am determined and focused. Read more about my background here: http://www.eagerforlife.com.au/5km-50km/
3. To show people that you can be fit and strong on a plant powered diet
4. To raise funds for Farm Animal Rescue. As a passionate, kind vegan I want to educate others about the way that animals are treated. Farm Animal Rescue is a beautiful sanctuary dedicated to looking after farm animals that have been abused and lived on factory farms.
A place where animals rescued from the food industry get to live in peace, and where you can hear their stories and meet them.
