William Goodge has achieved a new world record by running across Australia in 35 days, averaging over 100 kilometers daily. Motivated by his late motherâs struggle with cancer, he began his journey in Perth and ended at Bondi Beach, finishing four days ahead of the previous record. Along the way, he raised funds for the Cancer Council of Australia in memory of his mother, creating a poignant connection between his remarkable feat and personal loss as he honored her with a floral tribute at the finish line.
"Itâs obviously been quite the journeyâwe start before the sun comes up and finish when the sunâs gone down. Iâve seen every one of your famous animals."
"She was the most special person in my life. I placed this bunch of flowers at the shoreline in memory of my mother who passed away seven-and-a-half years ago to cancer."
