Held on May 25, more than 40,000 people took to the streets for the 13th annual HBF Run for a Reason—marking the largest turnout in the event’s history and reinforcing its place as one of Western Australia’s most cherished community events. The event celebrates remarkable stories of courage, hope, and resilience, and supports the life-changing work of so many incredible charities making a real difference.

This year’s HBF Run for a Reason was more than just a fitness challenge—it became a powerful show of unity and support as a dedicated group of teachers from Alkimos Primary School laced up their sneakers to run for one of our students: Marg Bhatt. Decked out in matching shirts and carrying signs of encouragement, the team hit the pavement with energy, enthusiasm, and emotion. While it was a wet day, this didn’t dampen their spirits with staff running the 12km and 3km events.

Thank you to everyone who cheered us on or supported Marg by donating to his Go Fund Me campaign.

Kind regards,

Team Alkimos
