Fred's Big Run

Your challenge is to...

enter Fred’s Big Run to raise funds for The Fred Hollows Foundation and help restore sight to those who are visually impaired or blind.

Four out of five people who are blind do not need to be, therefore participating in this challenge will help these people receive the treatment they so desperately need and continue Fred Hollows’ legacy.

Simply choose your challenge distance (50km, 100km or 150km) and run or walk throughout the month of August to help Pymble contribute to this valuable cause.

This challenge will earn you:

15 House Points

  • The Fred Hollows Foundation has made a huge difference to our First Nations population, particularly in remote parts of Australia, where his ground-breaking cataract surgery has restored sight to thousands. First Nations perspectives are a key element within the Social Intelligence pillar of our ‘Watch Us Change the World’ Strategic Direction, providing further impetus to put on our trainers and clock up our steps.
