Charlie's Run 4 Kids hits home after epic 150km journey

The contingent of runners in this year's Charlie's Run 4 Kids received a heroes' welcome when they made their way into Dudley on Sunday after five days on the road.

About 26 runners took part in the 2019 event, running more than 150km from Seal Rocks to Dudley's Lydon Oval to raise funds for the ongoing support Charlie's Run 4 Kids provides.

The charity is named after Charlie Carr, who lost her battle with the rare cancer Neuroblastoma in 2015.

While participants still run in Charlie's honour, this year the charity was financially supporting three-year-old Frankie Unger, who was diagnosed with stage four Neuroblastoma in January.

A family fun day was held on Sunday at Lydon Oval for the conclusion of the five-day run, including live bands, kids rides, raddles and monster auction.
