Charity Partners

The Port Fairy Marathon is all about community, and together we can make an even bigger impact.

Thanks to our partnership with Grassrootz, you can create your own fundraising page during registration and support a charity or cause that matters to you. Every donation, big or small, helps turn your run into something even more meaningful.

Charity Partner
SYNGAP Research Fund Australia

We're proud to partner with the SYNGAP Research Fund Australia, supporting families affected by SYNGAP1-related disorders.

SYNGAP1 is a rare genetic condition that affects brain development and can cause intellectual disability, autism, epilepsy, speech delays and other neurological challenges. While there is currently no cure, ongoing research is bringing hope to families around the world and helping drive the search for effective treatments.

Our partnership is inspired by a local Port Fairy family living with SYNGAP1. Their journey has helped shine a light on this rare condition and the importance of funding research that brings hope to families everywhere. By supporting the SYNGAP Research Fund, we're helping raise awareness and contributing to research that has the potential to change lives.

If you'd like your run to have an even greater impact, you can create a fundraising page during registration through our Grassrootz partnership. Every dollar raised helps fund vital research, supports advocacy and education, and brings us one step closer to better outcomes for people living with SYNGAP1.

Together, every step can make a difference.
