Be a part of BerryFun today! I completed the Run Melbourne half-marathon, combining a physical challenge and the opportunity to raise much - needed funds for some of Victoria’s most vulnerable children. The fundraising team helped motivate me to keep seeking donations. That, and wanting to take out the title of highest fundraiser at work! I really enjoyed the run and was proud of our team’s fundraising efforts. I loved spreading the word about the care Berry Street provides children and young people to make their present safer and their future brighter. There ís a range of run and walk options, so sign up and start fundraising! It ís such a simple way to make a difference for children in need. My number one fundraising tip is make it personalised. I found chatting with friends and family (and following up with an email) had the most success. Training tip: start a walking or running group at work. You connect with colleagues and motivate each other towards your race day goals!
