Silvio's helping children heal with every step.
Silvio vividly remembers the Port Arthur tragedy and was driven to take action. Inspired by the need to support children affected by violence, he decided to raise money for the Alannah & Madeline Foundation.
Since then, Silvio has raised over $50,000 by running half-marathons – and he’s only just begun.
Your support can help change lives. Together, we're giving children the chance to heal, recover and thrive.
“Being able contribute to keeping children safe is very rewarding. It’s good for the soul” – Silvio, champion fundraiser
