Issue 8 / June 2026

Hi Runner,

 You're Ready. Let's Do This!

Over the past few months, you've trained through early mornings, busy schedules, sore legs and challenging days. You've raised funds, shared our mission and committed yourself to something truly meaningful.

Now, race day is almost here.

Before you head to the start line, we'd like to share a special message from Bravehearts CEO, Alison Geale.

As we approach race weekend, take a moment to reflect on how far you've come. Whether you're running your first event or returning for another year, you should be incredibly proud of what you've achieved.

It's Okay to Ask One More Time

If you've been thinking about making one final fundraising push, now is the perfect time.

Many supporters choose to donate in the final days before an event. They see your dedication, your training and the finish line getting closer.

This week, consider sharing:

✅ A photo from your final training run

✅ A picture of your race bib

✅ Your fundraising progress and how close you are to your goal

✅ Why you're taking part in the 777 Marathon

A simple update can inspire friends and family who have been meaning to support you.

Every donation helps Bravehearts continue protecting children, supporting families and educating communities across Australia.

Trust Your Training & Keep Things Simple

At this stage, the hard work is done.

The best thing you can do this week is arrive at the start line healthy, rested and confident.

Remember:

✔ Trust the training you've already completed

✔ Reduce training volume and prioritise recovery

✔ Stick with nutrition and hydration strategies you've already tested

✔ Prepare your race gear early

✔ Focus on good sleep and staying hydrated

✔ Avoid making any major changes to your routine

Successful race days aren't built during the final week. They're built during the months of preparation that came before it.

Take confidence from every training session, every kilometre completed and every challenge you've overcome to get here.

Look What We've Achieved Together

Together, this community has raised vital funds to help Bravehearts continue protecting children, supporting survivors and educating communities across Australia.

Every fundraising page, every conversation, every training run and every donation has contributed to something bigger than race day.

Next week, when you step onto the course, remember that you're not just running for yourself. You're running for a future where every child can feel safe, supported and protected.

Thank you for being part of that mission.

We'll send a dedicated Final Event Details email before the start of race week with everything you need to know, including arrival times, check-in information, parking details and other important event-day information.

See you at the start line,

The Bravehearts 777 Marathon Fundraising Team 💜
