🎙️ In this special episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I’m joined by Mali Briggs — founder of the Aussie Frontline Foundation and a close mate — to reflect on a run that pushed me to my absolute limit. 1,042km. 23.5 days.

In this episode, we break down the highs and lows of the run, the mental and physical battles, and the bigger “why” behind it all. We talk about the reality many frontline workers face, and how support from organisations like Aussie Frontline Foundation can change — and even save — lives. There’s still time to donate. Every bit goes toward helping those who’ve had our backs.
