Sean Bell Run for Wishes

Sean Bell, an endurance athlete, currently running for Make-A-Wish, is making his attempt to break the record for fastest time around Australia, while supporting and raising money for Make-a-Wish Australia. His ultimate goal is to raise $1.4 million to represent the 14,000km that he will cover on foot. Inspired by the tragic loss of a beloved football teammate at the age of 18, Sean, an avid runner, embarks on an extraordinary journey to traverse Australia on foot, fuelled by previous feats like completing 50 marathons in 50 days in 2019 and running from Cairns to Melbourne in 2022.

For Sean, the decision to aim for the world record for running around Australia was a natural progression of his journey. ” Once I decided to run around Australia,” he explains, ” it made sense to attempt to break the record to add to the personal challenge for myself. I have great respect for current record holder Dave Alley, who has been a great supporter of myself and my run.”
