Thank you Richard

Some people you meet leave a mark so deep it changes the course of your life.

Richard Scolyer is one of them.
The first time I heard him speak, he was sharing both the incredible breakthroughs in melanoma treatment he helped pioneer, and his own deeply personal fight with incurable brain cancer. That talk lit a fire in my belly to give back more, to push harder for the causes I believe in.

It also — quite literally — sparked something else: a burning sensation near my shoulder that I couldn’t ignore. Turns out, it was something I needed to remove.
A strange twist of fate, but a powerful reminder to listen to your body
.
Richard, your courage and determination continue to inspire me. Even if I fight in a different way, I’ll keep going — and I’ll do it in your honour.

I can’t wait to see you take on the 2025 City2Surf. Keep running your race. We’re all running beside you. 🏃‍♂️💪
