Legacy 200

By Tom Mort

On the 24th of March 2023, I will be setting off on a 211km run from Mount Perry to Bundaberg and back. My aim is to do this in under 40hrs, to raise awareness and funds in support of Epilepsy Queensland.
Epilepsy is one of the world's most common serious brain disorders impacting the lives of not only those who are diagnosed but also that of their family and friends.

I am inspired to challenge myself in tribute to my good friends, with the loss of their daughter Maddie recently to SUDEP. Prior to this, I knew little about this disorder. Now I'm on a mission to reach out and let Maddie's Legacy live on.
