Latest news: I have accepted the role of Oxfam’s Ambassador for the organization’s 100K Trailwalker events. One of the responsibilities will be to speak to and inspire participants ahead of each of the four Australian based events: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

I will also be participating myself in the Melbourne event next May. This is the “next running challenge” I alluded to recently. My team of four will be aiming to complete the very tough course in around 15 hours. I’ll keep you apprised of developments over the coming months.

I have also given several talks in the past week about the world run, and I’m looking forward to the Australian of the Year Awards next Monday. Stay tuned for that one.
