LFRC - Running for Frankie

By Guy Fisher

Hoka Half Marathon DONE

365 days ago I started running, mainly for fitness, off the back of some encouragement from friends. I had never run more than 5km and struggled on each run, doing my best camel impersonation as I struggled for breath. 

365 days on I found myself in the CBD starting my first official half marathon race (HOKA Half Marathon Sydney). Not only did I get to run a PB with some great mates, I also ran for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) and raise funds for the department supporting Frankie. 

Thank you for all your support - 307.8km down 692.2km to go.

Running for Frankie

Earlier this year one of our good family friends little 5yr old girl Frankie was diagnosed with leukaemia. Frankie is one of the cheekiest 5 year olds I know so I've set myself a cheeky challenge to raise money to support Oncology at Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (where Frankie is getting treatment).

I only started running a year ago but in 2026 I'll be targeting 1,000kms across the year (280km down so far) with key runs being:

1. Hoka Half Marathon Sydney (21.1km)

2. Bondi to Manly Ultra - Half (40km)

3. Kosci50 - Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko (50km)

The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network is the largest paediatric health care service in Australia. Every dollar we raise contributes to keeping our hospitals running at a world class, award-winning level.

That’s why I’ve chosen to raise much needed funds through Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation. Thank you for your support!
