ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
TIM BLAIR RUN FOR KIDS
The Tim Blair Run for Kids Foundation was formed in 2013 as a culmination of Tim Blair’s relentless efforts to raise awareness and support for families suffering through childhood illness. Since 2000, Tim and his team have partnered with a variety of charities to run, cycle and organise events that have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help support children and their families. The money raised has contributed to gaining equipment, treatment, and clinical trials here in Tasmania. This allows children to remain local and maintain their support networks, which is invaluable while they undergo their treatment process.
The spirit of every challenge Tim and others have undertaken, is to push participants limits, to generate awareness of the thousands of children facing life’s greatest challenge.
