Welcome to today's episode, where I had the pleasure of hosting Tom Hickman on the podcast.

In 2017, faced with personal challenges after a divorce, Tom made a decision that ultimately changed the trajectory of his life… instead of drowning his sorrows at the pub, he laced up his running shoes and embarked on a remarkable journey.

Tom set his sights on an audacious goal - to run 84 kilometres across Bali in aid of the Bali Children Foundation, a charity dedicated to educating disadvantaged Balinese children. His extraordinary effort raised an astounding $10,000 AUD!

Little did Tom know that this experience would become the spark that ignited the Bali-Hope Ultra, a life-changing week that blends the power of running with philanthropy. The Bali Hope Ultra is far more than your average ultra marathon race - it unites passionate runners from across the globe, driven by the desire to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged Balinese children.

Since the inaugural event in 2018, thanks to Bali Hope Ultra runners, donors and all other involved, just short $1 million Australian dollars has been raised for this noble cause.

And the 2023 Bali Hope Ultra just happened! I had the honour of being a support runner to assist all the runners on the course, including many first-timers, as they conquered the gruelling 84 km ultra marathon.

Get ready to be inspired as we delve into Tom's extraordinary journey and explore the life-changing experience that is The Bali Hope Ultra!
