RUN THE TAN 2024

Elite athletes, celebrities, emergency service workers and schools were back at The Tan to chase an official PB and raise funds and awareness for local mental health charities.

AWL was proud to be a key charity partner for RTT once again this year, and in attendance with a stall. Since we have grown in 2023, it was inspiring to see all 90 runners in the AWL team take to the track, as well as our valued supporters. 

 

We are thrilled to have raised $38,184 in this year's campaign

- a deep thank you to every one who had made a donation. 

Thank you to OCGA for generously donating new AWL t-shirts that were worn with great pride.

It's still not too late to donate: 

OCGA GOLF DAY

Special thanks to the OCGA and Ord  Minnett as sponsors, successfully raising $8, 000 for AWL.

AWL CHARITY CAR SHOW

The Charity Car Show successfully raised $10, 700  for AWL. Special thanks to Essendon Fields, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mobrici Souvlaki, Blinkr, Wonderland RV and Harrington’s Coffee Love as sponsors. Mostly,  AWL thanks Adrian Misiano, from Matthew Steer, for his vision and organisation in making this possible and inviting car club members. To all those who attended with their well loved and well maintained cars, we are incredibly grateful to you for your donations and honest conversations on the day, about youth mental health.

           Amber means the world to me and being able to honour her throughout this journey has been both a beautiful experience and at times, extremely challenging. Amber and I did so many things together, from choir and busking, to camping and rock climbing, but especially running. We both shared a love for running. 

 

In 2019, we did the 10k race at the Melbourne Marathon Festival in 2019 together. Last year I did the Half Marathon in her memory. 

 

Amber’s absence is painfully obvious, but I hope that wherever she is, she can feel how much I love her and miss her. 

 

This year I am running the full marathon for the first time with Amber.
