Team DAF - Nike Melbourne Marathon
From the first step to the final sprint into the MCG, Team DAF showed up big time at this year’s Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival, with runners repping the Dylan Alcott Foundation across every distance.
Our crew ran, walked, rolled and raised funds to help young Australians with disability smash their goals — and together, we raised over $90,000. Every dollar will go straight toward creating more opportunities in education, sport, employment, the arts and beyond for young people with disability.
Massive love to our unreal partners — Nike, Grill’d, CeraVe, Seoul Tonic, Lite n’ Easy, Wallaby Water, Freddy’s, and Drink Bobby — for backing the cause and making the weekend one to remember.
And to every single legend who donated, cheered from the sidelines, or joined Team DAF on the course — thank you. You helped open doors, shift perceptions and move us one step closer to a more inclusive Australia where every young person with disability can thrive.
We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
“DAF has had a huge impact on my life. They've given me so many opportunities, and without them I think I wouldn't be the person I am, because I've grown so much as a person, but also in the way that I'm much more confident as well.”
