Shani's Birthday Marathon Fundraiser

This year, the Sydney Marathon falls on Shani's 30th birthday, and she is choosing to celebrate by challenging herself to run the marathon and raise funds for Women's Mental Health Australia.

Shani is asking friends and family to donate to her fundraiser in lieu of birthday gifts, including what they might otherwise spend on attending a birthday brunch, dinner or celebration.

Shani will be encouraging her loved ones to come along on the day to cheer on the runners!
