Ellie Norris
Ellie Swims the Desert Ultra
Story
Hello friends! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
On Saturday 17th October I will be participating in the Desert Ultra - a long distance swimming event in Alice Springs. I will swim 2km every hour until I can swim no further! My goal is to reach 20km - and your support will help me with every lap I swim.
I am participating in this event to raise crucial funds for Rob de Castella's Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF). The IMF uses running to provide life-changing pathways and opportunities to Indigenous Australians, and create inspiration Indigenous role models. One of IMF's four key programs is the Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) which annually selects a group of 12 young Indigenous Australians aged 18-30 and trains them to run in the New York City Marathon - with just six months of training.
This opportunity gives them to courage to unearth their own sense of self-worth and pride by taking on the biggest marathon in the world. Participants also complete a compulsory Certificate IV in Community Recreation, Level 1 Recreational Running Accreditation, First-Aid and CPR qualifications to educate, encourage and motivate their community on the benefits of living an active and healthy lifestyle.
Please support me, and by doing so support this great cause.
THANK YOU
