On August 3, my husband Shaun, our little boy Theo (in his trusty running pram!), and I will be taking on the Perth Half Marathon.

This isn’t just about fitness, it’s personal. My connection to Neuromuscular WA started young. My parents got involved with the organisation when I was a child. My dad served as Chair of the Board for several years and my mum is still volunteering weekly in their office. Now, I’m proud to continue that legacy by serving on the Board myself.

Volunteering with Neuromuscular WA has shown me first-hand the life-changing impact this organisation has. The funds we raise through this campaign will go directly toward helping people living with neuromuscular conditions in WA, whether it’s through emotional support, advocacy, equipment, or simply having someone in their corner who understands.

Training for a half marathon is no small feat, especially with a pram in tow! But every kilometre we run is a step toward raising awareness and funding for a cause that matters deeply to our family. We’re running to help ensure that people living with neuromuscular conditions get the support they need to live the best life possible.

Your donation, big or small, will make a tangible difference. It will help Neuromuscular WA continue to provide essential services and support to those who need it most. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of many Western Australians!

Neuromuscular WA supports over 700 people across Western Australia who are living with rare, genetic conditions that weaken the muscles and nervous system. These conditions can affect mobility, breathing and even speaking, making everyday life an ongoing challenge.

Despite affecting more than 40,000 Australians, these conditions are still under-recognised and underfunded. Neuromuscular WA provides vital services like counselling, system navigation, information, advocacy and connection to community, helping individuals and families feel supported at every stage of life.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s do something meaningful, one step at a time!
