Hi guys and welcome to my big Aussie marathong runN around Australia to help trees and to inspire young kids.
I have always believed in my run'N and i have always thought if I can just help save one life or inspire one person to change there life for the better then I have achieved my goal.
But it doesn't stop there, I have now stepped UP and have started to tell people I am going to do a big crazy run and it has been playing on my mind for about 10+years now, so now is the time to go do it and stop putting it of for a tomorrow that never comes.
Anyway before I get to far of track, you don't realise how IMPORTANT your roll is in making this journey a success in many ways and in doing so with a bit of hard work and some logistic planning we can make this happen and I can bring to you on a daily basses live updates of my 365 marathons in one year of continues running and hard work.
It will cost me about $20 per day for food and a cold beer haha.
$20 food for my support driver.
$40 x 60 days = $2,400
$1.50 per litre diesel 90L $135 / 3 days.
2 months to run'N from Byron Bay to Cairns
$45 x 60 days = $2,700
8 massages that's only one per week at $100 each - $800 and just to be clear sometimes they donate them for free to kindly support my charity run'N but thats a personal decision they have to make and they are also going with out earning $100 for themselves to pay there bills and there food ect.
Some people may think it is to much but try running 2000km on water and something that hasn't been done before and you never know something could brake on the car or boat ect so I better of asking did a little bit extra just in case so $400 will be going to a accident factor if or not.
I will then also need to fly my volunteer driver back to Brisbane or Sydney for $200 flight so I feel it is only far as it is all volunteer positions including myself as I am not getting paid or no sponsors:(!!!!
Total $5,900
I will be do my best to making this one hell of a tough run and test of endurance to be able to deliver live updates to your phone every single day with all the Highes and lows that come along with it all and all the challenges that come along with it all.
I will be meeting a lot of different people along my way and lots of different communities. I will be taking lots of photos, short videos and creating a small documentary story of my incredible run around Australia in the outback.
If you can just take out 5min and site back and put yourself in my shoes, actually THONGS in this case and see what lies ahead of me and to try and line everything up just to make this whole trip a success and that's even before I even set off, let alone all my training and mental and emotional work I have to do to keep myself FOCUSED!
Thank you once again for taking time out to read my very important request and your kind donation is a HUGE help and (together) we can all help make a difference in some childrens lives.
I look forward to sharing with you updated story's and all my running Adventures and training before I set off.
Please share and tell all your friends and family.
I look forward to meeting you on the road somewhere around our big country Australia.
Thanks Ben Ferris
