A few extra legs have joined the team!


This wasn’t quite the update we were hoping to give… unfortunately, Eliza has injured her Achilles and will be sitting out the running for the rest of the challenge 😭 Looks like she’ll be cheering from the sidelines instead!

But we weren’t going to let an injury stop us from reaching our 300km goal!

We’re so grateful to have friends willing to jump on board, and we’ve recruited some extra legs to help get us over the finish line! Thank you Alyssa, Nico and Tina for running Eliza’s kms ❤️

The generosity doesn’t stop there, together we’ve now raised $1,939 towards better mental health support 👏🏼 Thank you to everyone for your help!

Week 1 - A Parents life

We’ve been blown away by the generosity of our friends and family! Thanks to your support, we’ve decided to increase our fundraising goal and together we’ve now raised $1,525 🎉

We’re so grateful for every donation and message of encouragement. Thank you for getting behind us!

We’ve been working hard to clock the kms. Together, we’ve already run 136km out of our 300km goal. There have been some great runs and some tougher ones. Thankfully, no swooping birds.

Let’s talk mental health for parents…

Parenting is rewarding, but let’s be honest — raising a child can be exhausting, overwhelming, and a lot to juggle!

Between the big emotions, sleepless nights, work, and everyday life, it can be easy to put ourselves last. We’re learning that looking after our little ones also means making space to look after ourselves — whether that’s catching up with friends, doing something you enjoy, or simply asking for a hand. 

A little reminder to all the parents out there: You don’t have to do it all, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're struggling, it's okay to say so and ask for support. You deserve care, too.

And we are off!

Day 1 of One Step Forward and already we’ve surpassed our goal, raising $1,262 for mental health! A big big thank you to everyone who has donated so far :) 

31 days to our half marathon and we’ve got a plan to get there, but it won’t be easy. Today CJ kicked us off with a 10km run in beautiful Sydney city this morning. This weekend we’ve got our practice runs coming up, but Eliza’s main concern isn’t the distance, it’s about dodging swooping birds. Keep you posted on how that goes. 

Let’s talk mental health…

1 in 2 Australians will experience a mental health disorder at some point in their life. Behind that statistic are our friends, family, and colleagues. Sometimes we know someone is struggling, and sometimes we don't.

A simple check-in can be a good place to start.

Send the message. Make the call. Go for a walk (or run) together. You never know how much it might mean. 

If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out is a good place to start. You don't have to navigate it alone.

Hey, we are the Molanos' !

This October means a little more to us than just another month of training.

Together, we’re taking on One Foot Forward in memory of a dear friend, and for the people around us who might be going through more than we realise.

Over the past couple of years, mental health has become something we’ve both thought about a lot more. We’ve seen how deeply it can affect people close to us, and how easy it can be to assume someone is okay just because they seem okay.

So this month, we’re doing something simple together.

Between us, we’re aiming to run 300km throughout October, raise $1,000 for Black Dog Institute, and finish the month by lining up for our first half marathon together on 31 October.

Running has become a pretty big part of our lives this year. It gives us time to clear our heads, catch up with friends, chase a goal together and, occasionally, question why we signed up for a half marathon in the first place.

We’ll share a few updates along the way — the good runs, the rough ones, the sore legs, the fundraising milestones and everything in between.

More than anything, though, this is a reminder for us as much as anyone else:

Check in on your people.

Send the text. Make the call. Grab the coffee. Ask how they’re actually going.

We really appreciate all the support — whether you’ve donated, shared the page, or just followed along with our updates. It all means a lot.
