About
The Geoff Watt Memorial Fun Run is Gippsland's very own running event in memory of my late Father Geoff Watt - who was a marathon/ultra marathon runner.
Fundraising
This year's Fun Run has chosen to raise money for the McGrath Foundation, which is a great opportunity to rally your friends and family to show your support.
The McGrath Foundation raises money to place specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses wherever they're needed, who provide invaluabe physical, psychological and emotional support from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment - for free.
