A man who’s lost his two brothers in the last ten years is preparing to run from Mildura to Echuca.
Ben Welch is aiming to run 380-kilometres in four days, four hours and 44 minutes from March 3rd next year in honour of his family.
March the 7th 2025 will mark 10 years since he lost my older brother Jai in a tragic ski racing accident. He passed away in the Mildura Hospital.
In October 2022 he also lost his younger brother Zac to suicide in Echuca.
His favourite number was #444.
All funds raised from the run will be donated evenly to 3 Headspace centres Echuca, Swan Hill and Mildura, helping kids aged 12 – 25 years old in these 3 centres combat anxiety and associated mental health problems.
