Ten weeks ago we decided to enter a Life7 City2Surf Team but we hadn’t anticipated just how rewarding the experience would be. Apart from it being a great day out on Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, the benefits came on many levels.

Our original reason for entering a team was to give each of us a physical goal to work toward. Often the journey required to achieve a physical goal helps to incrementally raise one’s self awareness and self esteem, allowing other aspects of our lives to be improved in line with our health and fitness challenge.
A meeting with legendary Australian Cricket Captain, Steve Waugh, led to Life7 committing ongoing support to the Steve Waugh Foundation and their efforts to help improve the quality of life for children and their families affected by rare illnesses.
Our first Life7 City2surf Team had 12 members made up of two Life7 coaches, clients, family and friends. Along the way we managed to raise a few thousand dollars in sponsorship for the Foundation. This fundraising aspect added further reason for completing the challenge and gave some of us the extra push they needed in order to focus on their training and to get over the line on the day.

All 12 of us reached our individual goals for the day and we had a wonderful time relaxing together on Bondi Beach after the event.
If you’d like to help us support the Steve Waugh Foundation’s efforts to help Australian children affected by a rare illnesses, we have decided to continue to offer a special bonus coaching offer for individuals or small business owners that make a donation of over $200 to the Steve Waugh Foundation.
(We are currently ranked no.8 on the Steve Waugh Foundation’s ‘Top Ten Fundraiser’ rankings for the 2010 SWF City2Surf initiative.)
Please ask your Life7 coach for more information on this offer.
