Two Australian brothers have embarked on a remarkable 100-day cross-country run to raise $100,000 for cancer research.
Inspired by losing their grandmother to breast cancer eight years ago and having another grandmother survive cancer a year ago, Stefan Lamble, 25, and Lachlan Lamble, 22, set off from Perth in February.
The pair are now days away from Adelaide after battling extreme weather conditions and pushing their bodies to the limit.
“One day reached 46 degrees and the soles of our shoes literally melted,” Lachlan said.
Their unwavering commitment has garnered widespread support, with a legion of fans across the country cheering them on.
Cancer advocate Kellie Finlayson joined the brothers to support them in Dublin.
“It gives us a bit of hope that there might be some new research, and that’s all we can really hope for,” she said.
The brothers have now been running for 66 days straight, with their journey to end in Melbourne.
They have already surpassed their initial fundraising goal of $100,000 and hope to reach $1 million by the year’s end.
“We are doing it for everyone back home that has been impacted by cancer, so please find it in your hearts to donate at ACRF.com,” Stefan said.
