Louise’s 50km at 50 for Rundipg

24/05/2025

So I swapped my runners for some very uncomfortable heals and had a beautiful night out last Saturday at the RUN DIPG Gala dinner.
It’s always fun getting dressed up but the reason of why we are all there hits pretty hard when you are surrounded by these tough, amazing families trying to make a difference for all the future diagnosed kids. Amassive shout out to Phoebe Dun who continues to get up there on stage and talk about it all whilst Matt Dun is out there fighting for a cure ❤️
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost their child or currently fighting this disease.
It is heartbreaking and why we continue to raise as much awareness as we can of this devastating diagnosis.
I am so humbled and proud to have raised over $61,000 for this cause and urge everyone who can to keep us in your fundraising focus .💕

I have been pretty quiet on FB since my big adventure last weekend but I just wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you has supported me on this journey.
I had an absolute blast running the race and was privileged to do so with 2 of my favourite people Emma Young and Saideh Kent and being supported by Rebecca Lehmann Macy Young meant so much to me.❤️
I’m still really emotional thinking of the day and all that we achieved… I don’t actually think it has sunk in yet.
My fundraising total is currently over $59,000 which is unbelievable but also… I knew I would do this .
Go me ❤️
We made it to the official video around the 4 minute mark if you want to to watch… it showcases the emotion and the race really well. It was an amazing event and an amazing day and I encourage anyone to give it a crack. I’m going back next year to do the 102km 😁🏃🏼‍♀️

So we did it… we finished in under 8 hours with some solid support from the crew and are all a bit puffed now so no photos just yet.!!!
So so thankful and humbled by all the support both in donations and messages I have received. I may have cried most of the last km and made everyone else
cry at the end . 💛🖤💛💪🏽🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

These guys are awesome and provide a much needed caffeine boost to my daily training … get behind them and drink lots of coffee next weekend whilst I’m out travelling the trail !☕️❤️🏃🏼‍♀️

Double days this weekend with 25km of hills yesterday followed by another 13km today. I then walked it off with Ollie and had breakfast with Jason. Pretty happy my legs are holding up and certainly in a better state than last weekend.
Now that I have figured out the ice bath, it is definitely my friend !! 😄
20 days and counting until Tarawera !!!
