Erchana is a world-record holding marathon runner and change-maker. In 2022 she made history and inspired audiences across the world by running 150 marathons over 150 consecutive days from Cape York to Melbourne to raise vital funds for Australia’s endangered wildlife. Now, she’s taking that passion, motivation and energy to another start line by running for the southern Gold Coast seat of McPherson. Erchana is also a nutritionist, small business owner and holds a Master of Human Nutrition.
McPherson has been considered a safe Liberal seat for decades, but with incumbent Liberal member Karen Andrews retiring at this election, Erchana has a once in a generation opportunity to turn the seat independent and champion the needs of her Gold Coast community.
