A RECORD number of runners laced up their trainers and took to the streets for the annual Run for the Kids challenge.
More than 35,160 athletes of all age and size competed in the 5.5km and 15km courses, sweating it out across the city for a great cause.
They raised $1.9 million through their efforts, which pushed the total amount raised by the event for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday appeal to an incredible $10.7 million.
One of the ambassadors of AIA Vitality is Shane Crawford, an ex AFL player who is now a presenter who does some great work for charity, and I was delighted to meet him.
After the race, Darren and I were interviewed at the finish line because AIA Vitality were sponsors of the race - even though I had just snuck into the team!
What a great morning!
