Kids Running a 42km Marathon?
Day of Difference Foundation is encouraging kids to get off screens (for just a little bit) and get on their feet, to help other kids get back on their feet with a unique Marathon.
"A Km a day for 42 Days" is the challenge but we really don't care how you go about it. We just want to raise valuable awareness and funds for a world first hospital program in partnership with Lady Cilento Children's Hospital - to help support families for up to 2 years post hospital stay.
Join the challenge for FREE at MarathonwithaDifference.org.au and challenge your friends and family too!

Marathon with a Difference
1.
2. MARATHON â¨
WITH A DIFFERENCE ISâŚ
A school âfun-draisingâ event where
kids will run âa km a day for 42 days.
⢠Theyâll be running EVERY DAY
⢠Sharing positive social media
messages
⢠Creating social impact
⢠Being grateful for here and now
⢠Celebrating the highs
⢠Bouncing back from the lows
⢠Exploring fundraising technology
⢠Developing personal confidence
⢠Engaging with families
⢠Creating healthy competition
3. THE CONCEPT
âA Km a Day for 42 Daysââ¨
Children can start where they like.
Just one lap of an oval is 400 metres.
104 X 400 metre laps = 42.2km⌠a
full marathon.
Over the school term, messaging will
include information about childrenâs
injury and the impact on families,
staying safe, gratitude. Incorporated
into our messaging are the concepts
of gratitude, social justice, healthy
living, perseverance, resilience and
goal setting.
So many lessons!
4. THE MECHANICS
Kids, parents & teachers can register
for Marathon with a Difference online
with a FREE Everyday Hero fundraising
account for fundraising and fun
leaderboard competition. This will set
up a personalised web page.
Each child will set up a FREE Map My
Run App with their parent / teacher and
manually log their distance after each
run â itâll be integrated to their
fundraising web page.
Real time progress will be displayed on
a map of the Gold Coast Marathon
Course (Commonwealth Games Course
for 2018 - TBC).
We encourage families to proudly
promote their achievements on social
media via Facebook, Instagram and
engage in some friendly âFunâ-draising
competition to raise the most dollars.
Our goal is have every school in Australia
run a Marathon with a Difference for one
school term of the year⌠and we need
your help to spread the word.
If every child raised just $50, a single,
small sized school of 400 students
could raise $20,000 and make an
incredible DIFFERENCE.
Just 5 schools could fund
2 full time positions for an
ENTIRE HOSPITAL.
5. SCHOOL vs SCHOOL
Invite your school
and take on other
schools in a fun,
âhealthyâ
competition.
6. GETTING KIDS
OFF SCREENS &
ON THEIR FEET,
TO HELP OTHER
KIDS GET BACK
ON THEIR FEET.
*Marketing message to resonate with parents
7. MEETING PARENTAL NEEDS
Every parent has similar desires for their childrenâŚ
âI want my kids to be happy and healthyâ
âIâd like my children to be good peopleâ
âItâs important that theyâre safeâ
Marathon with a Difference encompasses these important
desires by 1) encouraging kids to get active, 2) showing
kids how great it feels to give back to others and 3)
developing valuable awareness about injury prevention
8. A GLOBAL VISION: REDUCING THE INCIDENCE AND IMPACT OF
CRITICAL INJURY FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES
It all starts here
