MEET BLAKE BOURNE

A driven 25 yr old from country Victoria on a world record attempt to become the fastest person to cross the Simpson Desert on foot. Running 380km from one side to the other, in less than 3 days and 8 hours. The equivalent of 9 marathons.

For one big reason

Blake’s aim is to raise $38,000 for Speak & Share - representing $100 for every km ran. And to encourage Australians to get out there and take control of their own mental health.

Blake's Big Red Run is a fundraising campaign aimed at improving access to mental health resources and reducing suicide across Australia.

Blake is looking to break the World Record (3 days 8 hours and 36 mins) for "fastest person to cross the Simpson Desert on foot" set by Pat Farmer in 1998. With the aim of raising funds for non-fot-profit organisation Speak & Share along the way to help support the incredible work they do.

How will the money raised help support mental health?

By raising funds for Speak & Share they will be able to expand their reach and provide greater access to their programs to schools, workplaces and sporting clubs most in need. $38,000 will allow Speak & Share to impact over 1,500 school students and provide students with the tools and resources they need to take control of their own mental health.

I'm a business wanting to sponsor Blake's efforts. How can I help?
