A huge shoutout to Emily who ran her very first half marathon at the Runaway Sydney Half Marathon over the weekend — and raised over $2,000 for the Foundation in the process! 🏃‍♀️✨ This cause is incredibly close to Emily’s heart. Her father sustained a spinal cord injury 8 years ago, and she knows all too well the impact such a life-changing injury can have on a loved one and their family. She channelled that emotion and strength into every step of the run — and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Emily, for your courage, determination, and for helping us move closer to a future where Everything Is Possible!💚 #sydneyhalfmarathon #spinalcordinjuryawareness #fundraisingchampion #runforacause #thankyou #chairty #EverythingIsPossible (fb)
