Tip to Toe - A Wild Run for Wildlife

A wild run for wildlife from the Tip of Australia to The ToeMelbourne

MEET ME

Erchana,

Running to end extinction.

You’re probably wondering why I am undertaking this epic adventure? Well, I’m in love with Australia’s native animals. They’re quirky and unique with fun personalities and I just love sharing all my favourite trails with them. But unfortunately, many of these beautiful creatures are now facing the very real threat of extinction. Did you know that there are now almost 500 Aussie animals on the endangered list, including some of our key iconic animals! Imagine an Australia without a Koala? It’s about as un-Australian as not liking vegemite! We are working in collaboration with the Wilderness Society to help stop the extinction crisis.

Unless you’re Steven Spielberg and a dinosaur, we can’t bring a species back from extinction. So, let’s come together before it’s too late to ensure these gorgeous animals are around when our children are.

The Route

The Wilderness Society: Let's end extinction in Australia.

Tip to Toe is partnering with the Wilderness Society to spread the word – extinction is a choice.

Australia’s biodiversity is incredibly unique, yet we are second in the world for biodiversity loss. This is downright nuts. Our wildlife is world-renowned, but many of us are unaware of just how dire our extinction crisis is. The Wilderness Society knows we have the tools to see wildlife protected – and they need our support to act now. That’s why funds raised from Tip to Toe will be donated to the Wilderness Society. Donate today.

The Cause & How You Can Help

I’m running a marathon every day, all the way from the tip of mainland Australia (Cape York) to the toe (Melbourne) to spread a very important message – extinction is a CHOICE. That’s right, 150 consecutive marathons to be the voice for Australia’s native animals.

This wild run for wildlife aims to raise $10 for every kilometre ran. This equals $62,000 and will go a HUGE way into preserving the parks and ecosystems that home our treasured animals. We want to ensure these beauties are still around when our children are.

100% of profits raised from Tip to Toe 2022 will go to the Wilderness Society and go a huge way towards:

Educating communities on acting on the extinction crisis before we lose Aussie biodiversity.
Supporting the Wilderness Society’s work to see Australia’s nature protected.
Advocating towards protecting our natural ecosystems and the incredible wildlife within them.

Go on, chuck in some coin and make this carrot so big, I can see if from Cairns. It will be doing the world a world of good.
