I never saw myself even thinking about attempting a 100km run, but when my sister told me her plans to run 100km in memory of our brother Daniel I just knew I had to step up and run with her. In December 1999 our brother Daniel was tragically killed in a road accident with his two best friends John and Casey. He was only 21. It impacted our lives greatly and still does. We miss him every day. My sister Emma has inspired me over the last 12 or so years to run and push myself. She has supported me every step, from attempting to run 5kms to now running 100kms. Doing this run together, for our brother is something is what has gotten me through the training. Whenever I have thought I can't do it I think of Daniel and know I CAN. We're raising money for Road Trauma Support Services Victoria, a service I wish I had known about 18 years ago when I felt so lost when my brother was taken too soon. We would be appreciative if any donation made. I also wouldn't be doing this event without the wonderful support from my employer Jeff Wignall Ford and AHG Mornington, they really do support locals.
