Brooke's Endurance Run Challenge
Throughout 2026, Brooke will take on 10 million steps whilst raising funds to support Women’s Mental Health Australia – including a 24-hour run while dribbling a soccer ball in pursuit of another world record.
For Brooke, this cause is deeply personal. “Endurance running has played a profound role in helping me address and manage my own trauma and mental health, with each long run becoming a space where I could confront my fears, process difficult emotions, and find a sense of control in whatever it was that felt overwhelming.”
