Summary
Katrina Blowers, a news presenter grieving the loss of her mother to MND, is training for her first full marathon—not just for personal fitness, but as a powerful tribute to her mom and a rallying cry against the disease. Once self-proclaimed non-runner, she’s defied expectations, completing multiple half marathons and even serving as an MND ambassador. A viral clip mocking runners and the tragic losses of NRL star Jai Arrow and FightMND founder Neale Daniher reignited her resolve. Now, despite only training up to 32km, she’s raising funds for MND research through an impromptu video appeal, fueled by the love of her family and the hope that every step could bring the world closer to a cure.
