Alice's Story...

Running has always been an important part of the family. Mum has run since well before Alice and I were born. She then made us run from time to time, despite regular complaints. Now, over a decade later, I actually enjoy it. Alice ran in her first primary school cross country with Mum yelling, "Push til it hurts! Push til it hurts!" And Alice did. Always.


There wasn't effective treatment in 2012 when Alice died from Mito, but with enough support and enough fundraising and research, hopefully this will be different for families in the near future.


CITY2SURF 2024

Returning to running again in April after 17 months off, this year I’ll be doing the City2Surf, despite the misgivings of my physio! 

Goal: <70mins>


Alice and I loved this race. We were interviewed and made it onto TV in 2010 as we were running up Heartbreak Hill. 


This year, I’ve set an ambitious target of $3000 to raise for the Mito Foundation. All and any donations are greatly appreciated.


ln mitochondrial diseases, mitochondria cannot efficiently turn glucose and oxygen into energy. This can lead cells to malfunction and potentially organs to fail.


When I'm tired or feel like I don't want to run any further or faster, I remember this fact and try to dig a little deeper, because for some people, there really is no energy left.


Mito Foundation has shared some very exciting news: they have begun clinical trials. This fills me with so much hope that one day these trials will lead to successful treatments.
