Jamie Malone’s Couch to 5K fundraising for The Stonetown 5K in The Stonetown 5k 2026
In memory of my neighbours Mark, Louise, and Evan, I am completing a Couch to 5k programme in the coming weeks and fundraising to support two great causes - The ABACAS Special School and The Stonetown Walking Track. My goal is to go from couch to a Sub 30 minute 5k in 5 weeks. All donations along the way are greatly appreciated. Thank you for supporting The Stonetown 5K, an event that will remember and celebrate the lives of my neighbours Mark, Louise and Evan, and raise funds for two great causes that were close to their hearts.
