Running 27Ks for 27 Days

By Aaron Marshall

Share my page

In April we're running 27ks for 27days to help raise awareness and funds so we can one day END MND!

We're back! 

In 2023 Kurt and I (Aaron) ran a 100km ultra marathon, raising over $10,000 for FightMND! This time we're going to be upping the challenge by running 27km a day for 27 days, the same distance of ADL - MELB (730km) going from April 1st until the 27th. 


Win 1 of 2 $50 LSKD Gfit Vouchers!
LSKD have donated to us x2 $50 gift vouchers to giveaway in support of our run for FightMND - we'll be randomly selecting 2 people who donate to our to give these to :)


We will be running all across Adelaide! 

Ranging from the beach to the city, north to south and east to west so we can run with as many people throughout the community as possible. Our location, dates and times are available below or on our website www.endmnd.com.au 


So why 27ks and 27 days? Why 27? 

27 months is the average life expectancy of someone who has just been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a little over 800 days... 

So to help bring as much awareness to this awful disease and statistic as possible I thought it was fitting to run 27ks for 27 days, plus it has a nice ring to it haha. 


Sponsorships - Individual or Companies

For individuals who donate $27 or more we will have your name custom printed on our shirts for the run as a sponsor, for all 27 days and all 730kms you will be with us! 


For companies that donate $500+ we will have your business name and logo printed across our backs! *These spots are limited to assure adequate room for everyone* 


Follow us!

On top of this I'll be documenting the whole process from my training, fundraising, getting sponsors on board, planning my runs and everything else in between on our Instagram & Tiktok pages - @letsendmnd.
