Stepping Up for Community – My 2025 City2Surf with KARI

Hi everyone,

I'm back for another year of sweat, stories, and steps proudly running the 2025 City2Surf in support of the KARI Foundation.

This year, I’m raising funds to help KARI purchase a brand-new Community Programs Van a vital tool that will allow their staff to deliver more services, support, and connection across First Nations communities. From school engagement and cultural programs to family support and outreach, this van isn’t just a vehicle it’s a bridge to better access, greater impact, and stronger communities.

As many of you know, KARI does phenomenal work creating real, meaningful opportunities for Aboriginal people, especially young people. They’re champions of culture, identity, and empowerment and they deliver programs that change lives, not just tick boxes.

Last year, your generosity helped push me through the kilometres and over the fundraising finish line. This year, I’m running not just for the finish line, but for the roads that this van will travel roads that lead to community halls, schools, family homes, and hearts.

Whether it's $5 or $50, your support means the world. Let’s drive this goal forward together and help KARI keep showing up for community in every sense of the word.

💛 Thank you for backing me, backing KARI, and backing community.
