A very basic humidity crib was $20,000 and they needed one.

So I thought, well, that's great.

Let's run the half marathon.

Let's raise $20,000.

Let's do this in memory of Henry Jessop and Evan.

And I thought, well, I need people to help me.

I can't do this on my own.

I asked all my friends, said, please, can you come and run with us?

And most of them had never run before and they all said yes.

And even though none of them liked running or wanted to run.

And then I made a little flyer and I put it... At this stage, I remember Ash getting a little worried because I...

I had this new sense of purpose.

I mean, he wasn't worried about that, but he was worried I was going to be disappointed.

When I told him, I'm making a flyer, I'm going to print it, I'm going to put it in playgrounds and cafes around Randwick and where we live.

And I'm going to ask people to come and join.

And he was worried that I was going to be terribly disappointed because nobody was... This was before the days of social media.

So I just literally put my phone number on there and said, call me if you want to come and run this half marathon with me.

And he said, Soph, no one's going to call.

And I'm worried that you're going to crash.

You're going to be really upset.
