Peach's Run 2025

ABOUT PEACH'S RUN

We lost James in February 2022 after an intense mental health battle. Peach’s Run aims to honour James's memory in the spirit of a physical challenge whilst raising awareness, a sense of community and vital funds to support local Mental Health based programs.

James was 33 years old when he passed and proudly wore the number 33 for the Waubra Football Club, keep reading to see how we have incorporated his beloved #33 into Peach’s Run.
