Help Victoria raise money

For participating in Bendigo Ford Fun Run 2025

My Story…

As many of you know, our beloved Lainey Bug was a passionate fun-run enthusiast, always recruiting anyone she could to join her for a 5km run. In 2018, Lainey tried desperately to convince me to join her for the Bendigo Bank Fun Run, and though I wasn’t in the best shape—physically or mentally—at the time, I promised her that “one day” I’d run beside her. Sadly, as we all know, on August 13th, we unexpectedly lost our bright, beautiful, and incredibly fierce Lainey. Lainey had the biggest heart—she was always giving and helping others, and that’s why I’ve decided to take on a challenge in her memory. My goal is to raise $1,600— $100 for each of the 16 incredible years of friendship Lainey and I shared. Those years were filled with laughter, love, and support, and I can’t think of a more fitting way to honor her memory than by setting this goal to help the Children’s Ward at Bendigo Health. Every donation brings us one step closer to making a real difference for others!
