Hi Everyone,
On behalf of the Team at Run for Resilience I would like to thank you for your support during the Inaugural Run for Resilience.
To say that this was a massive undertaking is not paying full respect to the Challenge of bringing together all the components necessary to Run 1500km across Queensland.
A few stats to ponder;
On average I ran 68km each day.... that's more than 35 Marathons over the 22 days run duration,
We covered a total 6949km in our Campervan,
Were hosted by over 25 Ex-Service Organisations, Cadet Units and Community Groups,
Engaged in over 693 conversations where we shared our story and mission along the route and handed out nearly 1500 flyers,
3 Cafe's sold coffee by the cup on our behalf and donated profits to our charity partner PTSD Resurrected,
I was interviewed on Radio and TV via the phone and in-person on more than 15 occasions, featuring on Paul Murray Live on Sky News, WIN News, and ABC Radio just to name a few;
On Social Media we had an organic post reach in excess of 46.8k, achieving organic post engagements of over 12.5k on Facebook alone!
My mind struggles to imagine just how many people heard our message during not just the 22 days of the Run for Resilience but over the 5 weeks that we traveled across Queensland to make it all happen.
None of this would have been possible without the kindness and generosity of not only each supporter but also every single person we met along the way. We were privileged to be invited into homes, given driveways to park on, hotel rooms to sleep in and camp sites on which to camp.
Donors will begin receiving their rewards shortly and we will also release details about how to purchase your own R4R Merchandise including Shirts, Hats and Buffs as we finalise the designs and receive final quotes back from suppliers.
Even through the run is over you can still contribute via run4resilience.org or make a donation directly to our Charity Partner PTSD Resurrected https://ptsdresurrected.org
