Hi, my name is Jon Graham and I have been resident of the Top End of the NT for the past 29 years. I fell in love with the Territory’s rich and diverse environment almost immediately and have been a supporter of the Environment Centre NT for as long as I have been aware of its existence.

As well as being a nature lover, I am also a keen runner and have been running the roads and trails of the Darwin region for many years. I completed my first marathon in Alice Springs in 2006 and raised a bit of money for ECNT in the process. Since then, I have run various distances in events around Australia as well as in the UK and although I’ve slowed down a bit I have pushed myself to run longer distances.

For this latest challenge, which is to run four marathons in four days, (approximately 170kms) I have once again decided to try and raise some money for ECNT and hopefully increase community awareness of this crucial organization. The Northern Territory, and indeed Planet Earth, have never faced the threats and challenges that they are currently facing. ECNT is the principal, non-political organization taking on the challenge of trying to protect our Northern Territory environment for future generations to enjoy. Please give as generously as you can to help them with this vital work.

I will be running these 4 marathons (42.2kms each) consecutively on the 10^th, 11^th, 12^th and 13^th August using routes that I have mapped myself. I will let you know how I go!

Thanks for reading this.

Jon Graham
