Hardnuts 4 is a group of 4 crazy kids embarking on an ultra endurance race in the Simpson desert to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (go to: www.jdrf.org.au). Type 1 diabetes is now a fast growing health concern that affects a huge number of young people especially children under the age of 10 resulting in serious life long health problems.
Who are these crazy Kids "The Hardnuts 4"? We are just 4 everyday mates with a passion to help others.
Team captain Anne Besgrove age 54, Real estate agent. Steve Lucas age 47, Free range egg farmer, John Maguire age 53,Regional Sales Manager, Andrew Westwick age 44, Operations Manager.
What is the race? The race is a 250km ultra endurance race that takes a gruelling 6 days to complete comprising of:
Day 1: 42.2km marathon
Day 2: 42.6km marathon
Day 3: 42.2km marathon
Day 4: 30.4km sprint
Day 5: 84km double marathon
Day 6: 8.6km dash to the finish line.
Competitors will face harsh weather and environmental conditions with soaring day temps and nearing zero degree nights whilst running over some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain in Australia. This race will push competitors to and beyond their mental and physical capacities. The race takes place on June 23rd to June 29th 2017. We hope that people can find it in their hearts to provide whatever financial support you can from $2 to the skies the limit. We will be so appreciative of any and all contributions possible. All donations have to be received before April 1 2017.
