Clarke brothers & their father running for Women's & Children's Hospital

By Clarke Brothers

I am raising funds for the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation because I want to positively impact the health and wellbeing of women, children, and their families at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. By donating, you will help brighten the lives of patients and their families, supporting brilliant care.

Thank you for considering a donation to my fundraiser. I would really appreciate if you could spread the word by sharing my page with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Thank you in advance for your generosity. It means a lot!

My Updates

Day 30 all wrapped up!

Wednesday 20th Aug

Daniel, Tom, Jake, and Rob Clarke have just completed their extraordinary 30 day running challenge: 10km each, every day, for 30 days, with some cherries on top at the end. The lads have been able to push through some relentless weather, illness and exhaustion at various stages throughout the journey, each achieving their goal at the close. Rob battled through to day 30 and smashed out a PB for his last 10km run. Tom, in a spur of the moment decision, decided to belt out a massive 25km course for his final hurdle. Jake managed to struggle through a marathon for the end to his campaign. Then Daniel, most impressively, after 89 consecutive days of running (895km in total), topped it all off with a mammoth final effort by zipping through his marathon at a rapid pace.

 

This wasn’t just a physical challenge. It was a tribute. Not only to Olivia, but to every family that has faced the unimaginable. Every step was for those whose stories didn’t end with a happily ever after and for those still struggling through the ongoing storm.

 

The WCH was a significant support system for Perlie, Jake and Maddi, during the most difficult days and beyond. Their hope is that this journey has raised awareness and helps the WCH support at least one more family going through the same heartache.

 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has generously donated to this worthy cause.


With love from the entire Clarke family.

Day 20 Update

Sunday 10th Aug
We’re now two thirds of the way through and, although the bodies are tightening up, our spirits are still high as we head towards the pointy end. Tom, Rob and Jake have managed to persevere through 200km so far, with Daniel remarkably reaching the 800km mark, literally getting it done through rain, hail or shine. Although it’s been painful and draining at times, it’s nothing compared to what our brave Olivia had to endure. So with Livvy sitting prominently in our thoughts and hearts, we now commence the final 10 day stage. Daniel and Jake are also planning to go out with a bang on the final day by each running a marathon. So if you see any of us blokes pounding the pavement over the next 10 days then feel free to give us a honk/cheer - the mental boost will be much appreciated!

Please dig deep with us and donate to the amazing WCH Foundation, supporting families battling through hardship.

Day 10 update

Wednesday 30th Jul
Day 10 completed by the team! Thanks to Zippy for coming up with the idea to support such a great cause inspired by the strongest little angel I have had the honour of meeting

We now have 4 Clarkes running

Thursday 24th Jul

We're 4 days in, and it's already been an inspiring journey.

What started as a challenge between my two brothers and I has now become a family affair, with our dad officially joining the mission on day 1.

We're running 30 km each day for 30 days to raise awareness and support for the Women's and Children's Hospital Foundation. Every step we take is a reminder of how important it is to give back and create positive change in the world. 

Thanks to everyone who's supported us so far. Let’s keep pushing!

30kms a day for 30 days

Tuesday 15th Jul

I'm incredibly blessed to have completed 55 of 60 consecutive days of running 10 kilometers a day in support of men’s mental health. It’s been a journey of physical endurance and emotional resilience, and together we have so far hit $2600 out of the $5000 fundraising target. I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who supported, donated, and encouraged me throughout this challenge.

But the journey doesn’t stop here.

Although my body is crying out for rest, my heart and mind are pushing forward. I’ve decided to extend the challenge for another 30 days, and this time I won’t be running alone. My two amazing brothers, Jake and Tom, are joining me. Each of us will be running 10 kilometers every day for the next 30 days.

This next leg of the challenge is dedicated to a cause deeply close to our hearts: the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation in North Adelaide. We're running in honor of Livvy/Oli, Olivia; Jake and Perlie’s beautiful, brave girl. She was the toughest little warrior, and her strength will guide every single step we take. Livvy will forever be in our hearts, and this is one small way we can honor her life and the incredible support the hospital provided.

We haven't set a specific fundraising target this time because, when it comes to a cause like this, no number will ever feel like enough. DEAC Electrical and Air Conditioning will be donating 2 percent of all profits made in the next month. Every dollar raised is a gift towards helping other children and families who need it the most.

If you can support us, whether through a donation or simply by cheering us on, it would mean the world.

Let’s do this for Olivia and for every little fighter out there. 💜
