Too soon…? Who’s going to win the Premiership? 🤔🏆

EPIC... Talk about pushing yourself to the absolute limit 😲🏃‍♂️

Our very own Phil Gore set out to run 6.7km every hour, on the hour, for seven days straight… running more than 1,000km on barely any sleep... all for WA’s sick kids.

Through Project 168, our legendary Armadale career firefighter and Backyard Ultra World Champion raised more than $280,000 for Telethon, smashing his original $168,000 goal and helping WA kids and families 💙

After an incredible 152 hours on his feet, we reckon Phil has well and truly earned the right to put those feet up.

You’ve done us and WA proud, Phil 👏
