The HBF Run for a Reason aims to inspire our members and the wider WA community to pay attention to health and fitness – and raise funds for six very worthy causes along the way!



When you register, you’ll be asked to nominate one of these causes by creating your own fundraising page. Here they are (in alphabetical order):

Arthritis Western Australia
The effects of arthritis, osteoporosis and related conditions can be debilitating. Arthritis Western Australia provides support for people with arthritis, and their families and friends, and promotes awareness of these challenges across the community and in business, industry and government. The organisation also funds research into possible causes and cures, and better ways to live with arthritis.

The Foundation offers education and support services for the community, and funds local medical and scientific research into asthma.
