See Tom run

Blogs article written on the 12 Sep 2013

Tomorrow afternoon, Sydneysider Tom Denniss will run into Circular Quay in Sydney, making the Sydney Opera House the finish line for a marathon.

It’ll be the six hundred and twenty-second consecutive day he’s run over 42 km. That’s over 26,000 km and nearly two years of running—he began on New Year’s Eve 2011—across five continents.

He’s also raised a TON of money for Oxfam. Tom has now raised over $50,000! But we think he deserves to make it to $62,200, $100 for every marathon he has run.

If you can, join us on the afternoon of Friday the 13th of September at the Opera House to cheer him home.

And while you’re at it, who wants to help kick it over the $62 mark to welcome him?

Check out Tom’s website where you can see his progress for the last 20 months.
