🏃♂️ One Backyard. One Goal. One Incredible Cause. 💙
This weekend, Keegan Guy is taking on the brutal challenge of a Backyard Ultra to raise money for LIVIN – an amazing charity dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging people to seek help when they need it most.
For those who don't know, a Backyard Ultra isn't just another run. Competitors must complete a 6.7km lap every hour, on the hour, for as long as they can. There is no finish line until only one person remains. It's a true test of endurance, determination, and mental strength.
Keegan is putting himself through this challenge to help others, and every dollar raised will go towards supporting the important work that LIVIN does in our communities.
If you're able to spare a few dollars, please consider donating. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.
If you can't donate, sharing this post is another great way to help spread the word.
Let's get behind Keegan and cheer him on as he pushes his limits for a cause that affects so many Australians.
💙 Good luck, Keegan – we're all behind you!
