A Run for My Mate Knox O'Connor (OR2023)
Wednesday, 3 September 2025

We'd like to share a very special and important event happening in our community. On Friday November 8th, Old Boy Knox O'Connor (OR2023) will be running an incredible 105km (30 laps) around Centennial Park as part of a fundraiser for mental illness. 

This run, which Knox has named "A run for my mate," is in memory of a former teacher who recently passed away. This person had a massive impact on Knox and his mates, and this event is a powerful way to honour his memory while raising awareness for mental health. The fundraiser is being held in conjunction with the Black Dog Institute, a leading organisation in mental health research and support. 

By taking on this monumental challenge, Knox is not only pushing his limits but also helping to provide vital resources and hope to others who may be struggling. We invite you to support Knox on his journey. 

You can cheer him on at Centennial Park, or even better, contribute to the fundraiser to help him reach his goal. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your support and for helping to shed light on such an important cause. Link to donate:
