This Thursday(May 1), athlete Fran Hurndall will set off from Cottesloe Beach as she commences her 3,800km run from west to east to raise awareness and funds for domestic and family violence support in Australia.
Commencing the bold challenge to mark the beginning of Domestic Violence Prevention Month, Fran is aiming to do the run in a record time of just 34 days, running 110km per day, for 12-14 hours a day. Fran will burn an average of 8,000 calories a day and tread through more than 10 pairs of shoes as she makes her way to Sydney.
If she completes the run and reaches Sydney in early June, Fran will set a new world record and become the first woman to complete this feat in under 40 days.
Fran's inspiration is her sister, a survivor of domestic violence and her chosen charity is RizeUp Australia, an organisation providing life-saving support for families impacted by domestic violence. Her goal is to raise $1 million to make a difference to the lives of women and children impacted by domestic and family violence.
