100 KMS IN 100 DAYS
Hi, I'm Cooper T from Year 4.
I was inspired by Telethon 2024 and Nedd Brockmann's running and fundraising, and I want to challenge myself to help others. I'm trying to run "100ks in 100 days" to raise money for the sick kids at Telethon.
I'm 14 days into my run, and so far, I've raised more than $2300. I'm on my way to reaching my target of $3000. Any amount you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me help other kids.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support.

In this event, her mixed team finished 2nd in their age group and 3rd mixed team overall in an impressive 5 hours and 3 minutes—an outstanding effort from a team of 14/15-year-olds!
