In just 50 days, Pat Abrey undertook a monumental challenge, covering 2,100 kilometers and raising over $26,000 for the Dylan Alcott Foundation. 


His ambitious goal? Completing 50 marathons in 50 days, all in support of empowering young Australians with disability. Inspired by the foundation's mission to eliminate barriers, Pat's unwavering commitment, coupled with the generosity of donors, brought tangible change.


Despite facing various obstacles, including weather and work commitments, Pat's resilience triumphed. Together, these collective efforts will ensure equal opportunities for young Australians with disability.

Pat, you legend - thank you for your dedication to creating such an impact which we are deeply appreciative of. 


Big love from the DAF family.
