In it for Zane

By Neil rae

Official results!!

I entered this run to raise money for an amazing cause and ended up in a race! Not only did I smash my intended target I ended up coming third in the 24 hour race! A massive thank you to everyone who donated and offered support. More photos to follow of what was an epic day!! 

Raceday!!

Thank you all for the support! Now to put 1 foot in front of the other and get moving for 24 hours lol

2 weeks to go

With just over 2 weeks to go until my run, training has been on the up and clocking over 100kms a week until the last week. Thank you to everyone who has helped and donated so far to this cause!! 

Its official!!

I've been very quiet on posting here over the past couple of months due to the uncertainty of the WA borders opening. Now that I am able to travel back and fourth I can say with confidence that I will be running in the light horse ultra to complete my fundraising for the initforzane charity!!

Well it's official!!

Its official, I have entered the WA Light Horse 24 hour Ultra Marathon. Hopefully this time round I will be in the state to complete my challenge for this charity & Zane! More info pending. Thanks to everyone for being so patient with this fundraising. Being stuck out of state for 5 months 'due to covid wasn't ideal!! 

FINALLY

Well..... After 5 1/2 months of being kept out of WA due to covid restrictions Iam finally back in the state and rpreparing to announce a new date for my 24 hour challenge.
I am sorry for not being active on this account for the period while I was in NSW. Now that I am back I will be a more active and training has already started for this mammoth challenge!
Stayed tuned!!!

POSTPONED

It saddens me to say that after all the hard work and training I’ve put in towards my 24 hour run, I will be unable to make the date. Due to WA’s extreme hard border with NSW I will not be allowed back in the state any time soon! Don’t worry to all that have donated and partook in the raffle, all prizes will be on hold until I am able to complete the 24 hour run. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far and to all my sponsors. Nobody could’ve foreseen this happening!!

Still clocking the k’s

Still pounding the treadmill, fought off a persistent bug finally. Feeling a lot better. Nutrition intake and training going well!

Another massive thank you to Justin & Shannon at OC Clothing Co for helping and producing the In it fir Zane running t-shirts and also Tara Turpin for designing Zanes face and turning him into the cutest cartoon figure!! Thank you!!!!

Covid

As we all now covid is here to stay, but that's not going to hinder my efforts in training, back out tomorrow weather permitting. I've been fighting a bug over the past few weeks what with being run down with work. Still keeping up the kms though!! 

Track training has begun

Hi guys so this week I've managed to get out on to the track and start prepping for the event. After being held up at work for close to a month and just getting back to fitness after the cold, getting out and getting a few hours under the belt went well. Now to increase my times on the track. Remember for a little fun jump on to my In it for Zane Facebook page and have a guess at the distance I'll run in 24 hours!!!

Facebook page is now up and running!!

Please follow this link if you want to take part in a bit of fun!!

In it for Zane

It's that time of year again, I'm helping to raise funds in the name of my son Zane. 

Zane has been diagnosed with low functioning autism along with many other diagnosis, Zane has been through so much in his short life and has always come out stronger. 

What Zane has been through in his short life has pushed me to help raise awareness and opportunities for people on the spectrum, not just Zane.

I believe this charity does this. 'In it for autism' helps provide the best opportunities for people of all ages on the autism spectrum, from tailored educational support to fulfilling work lives and improved social environments. 

Any amount of money I manage to raise for this cause, I'm sure will go along way in helping.

I know its been a tough year for everyone and alot of people might not be able to donate to this cause, that's why I have decided to do a raffle style fund raising.

On the 14th August I will attempt to run 24 hours on the Bunbury track ultra event. 

I will be offering multiple prizes to anyone who can guess the closet distance I will run in this event. There will be prizes for the top 3 closest guesses along with a raffle where peoples entries will be pulled from a hat.

Absolutely amazing effort. I’ve done loads of crazy ultra stuff but what you have done takes so much strength mate. You should be so proud of yourself because you have to dig to the bottom of your core to do what you’ve done.
