My Dad, Steve Laussen (Flappers) recently passed away at the age of 60 from Ischaemic Heart Disease. A cause quite close to my heart (literally), my great pal Gaby and I have decided to take on a challenge to to raise awareness and funds for The Heart Foundation.


We are aiming to run the equivalent of 60 marathons (2532km) during our trip around the west of Aus (6months). 


The challenge will be equal be roughly 14km a day which will be split between the two of us and will be completed in locations all around Australia!
