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:

           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.

Marlee successfully raised $7,265 for AWL in her 2023 Melbourne Marathon campaign, successfully completing her first ever, full 42.2 km. We are in awe of her determination, courage and achievements - her love for Amber and empathy for those similarly suffering are unparalleled. Thank you Marlee, we are so proud of you.

RUN THE TAN 2023

Among the elite athletes, celebrities and first responders taking to the Tan Track in April, Monty Wraith entered to run in his elder sister's memory. The support was overwhelming, with 90 fellow fundraisers joining Monty to raise awareness and funds for AWL, including close friends and family.

 

The event was an incredible success, with 650 donations towards AWL totalling $45 036.
