Twelve months ago, Erinn considered herself a non-runner. Fast forward to May, and she crossed the finish line of the Sydney Half Marathon — not just as a runner, but as a fundraiser on a powerful mission.
Erinn ran in honour of her 8-year-old nephew Ryan, who was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma in late 2024. Ryan has spent many nights in the Variety Ward at Westmead Children’s Hospital, receiving specialised care during treatment.
Witnessing Ryan’s courage and the incredible support from Variety – the Children’s Charity NSW/ACT, Erinn set herself a challenge: complete the half marathon and raise funds to help more kids like Ryan.
She did just that – finishing the race in 2 hours and 30 minutes and raising nearly $3,500.
If you’re a keen runner (or even a reluctant one!), why not follow in Erinn’s footsteps? By joining a running event and fundraising for Variety, you can help kids like Ryan get the care and support they deserve.
