A beautiful summer’s morning greeted over 500 participants for the second Run For Strength ChallengeMD at Albert Park Lake.

Sponsors, BBQ, dogs, kids, prams and people in wheelchairs added to the bustle of the morning.

The end result was a magnificent fundraising success with $46,562 raised for the day. Add this to the inugrual event’s result and Run For Strength has now raised over $86, 700. An amazing effort and result attributed to the hard work of Sam Quattrone and Ozi Akyildiz.
