1000 Days of Running

By Manu Phillips

I’m doing it for cancer!

I’m hosting an event to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future.

Because 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, I’m bringing everyone together to raise funds and show my support.  

Please sponsor my event on this page to support cancer research and provide vital services for Australians living with cancer.

Thank you for your generous donation. Together, we can free the future from cancer.

My Updates

For Nan

Monday 21st Sep
This Saturday, 26th September 2026, will mark 1000 days in a row of running 5km a day.

3 years ago, I lost a family member and a close friend of mine to cancer. Before they passed, I challenged myself to run a marathon a day for one month. This was done because I was inspired to choose a hard thing. I hated running at the time, but I chose to do this.

Towards the later stage of that year, they had passed and going into the new year I decided to run 5km a day. To remember them.

On the 26th, it will be 1000 days of running 5km a day.

Earlier this year (July), I had lost my Grandma to cancer. That was the hardest day of my life.

I’d like to encourage you to join me in spreading awareness by sharing this page or donating to this. Your donation goes a lot further than you realise.

If you would like to, I want to encourage you to run 5km. Whether this is your first time or 100th time. Go out and try.

If you are in Perth, please join me on Saturday at Kerbside Cafe, Mount Pleasant at 7am.

Thank you.

Thank you to my supporters
