50K a Day for 50 Days
I’m running 2,500KM to raise $50,000 for children impacted by parental drug use.
As I turn 50, I’ve decided to do something big: run 50 kilometres every day for 50 days straight — a total of 2,500 KM
I’m doing it to raise $50,000 for The Mirabel Foundation, which supports children who have been orphaned or abandoned due to parental drug use.
This cause is deeply personal. I know how childhood trauma can shape a life — and how the right support, love, and resilience can help change its course. Running has helped me heal, and now I want to use it to help others.

About The Mirabel Foundation
Troy's Story
Wade's Story
Mirabel is the vision of Jane Rowe, who identified a vulnerable group of children and took action to make a positive difference in their lives. In her work as a drug and alcohol counsellor, Jane witnessed the devastating effects that drug use has on the children of drug users and the cycle of disadvantage that repeats itself through generations if action is not taken.
Jane believed that it was possible to bring about positive change to the lives of these children. In December 1998, with the support of countless individuals, Mirabel was launched with a two-night benefit concert in Melbourne.
Since this time, Mirabel has provided vital assistance and support to thousands of children living throughout Victoria and New South Wales. Troy and Wade are just two of those stories:
