In loving memory of Adam & Uncle John

By Grace Smithers

In December of 2024 and in February of this year we lost two very important and special people in our lives. On the 27th of April I’ll be joining in the town to beach half marathon being held in Narrandera. It’s been several years since I ran my first half marathon so this year, I made it my goal to run in one again. So it got me thinking about how I could raise money for an extremely important cause that is very close to my heart and that’s when I found ACRF, I was hoping to be able to run as part of their team at the Canberra times marathon, however unfortunately due to some niggling injuries I wasn’t able to train, so this I believe is the next best thing ♥️ any donations big or small will be greatly appreciated, however if that’s not possible just sharing this page will be just as helpful.  you.

My Why

In December 2024 and February 2025, we lost two very special people who made a lasting impact on not just our lives, but the lives of everyone they touched. On April 27th, I’ll be running in the Narrandera Town to Beach Half Marathon, a goal I’ve been working toward after several years away from racing. In their memory, I’ve chosen to raise funds for the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF), a cause that is close to my heart ♥️ 

I had hoped to join their team at the Canberra Times Marathon, but unfortunately, due to injuries, I wasn’t able to train in time. Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me. Simply sharing this page would also be an incredible help🙏🏻🫶🏻
