Bondi to Manly Ultra - 25 October 2025

By Charlie Carmont

On 25 October, I’ll be racing Bondi to Manly, a 78 km ultramarathon. But the run itself isn’t the most important part. I’m doing it to raise funds for Lifeline, Australia’s leading suicide prevention service.


Mental health challenges have touched my family and friends deeply and I’ve seen how devastating they can be. Every day in Australia 9 people die by suicide. That’s why Lifeline’s work matters so much - answering a call for help every 28 seconds and reaching over 1.4 million people annually. Lifeline operates 24/7 to ensure no one has to face their darkest moments alone.


While government funding helps, demand for crisis support in Australia is growing faster than ever. Your help can have a life-changing impact, whether it’s opening new centres, training more volunteers, or strengthening digital services so that no cry for help goes unheard.


There are two key ways to make an impact:

  1. Donate - every dollar, big or small, makes a difference.

  2. Share this with your family and friends if donating isn’t possible - spreading the word is just as powerful.


I’ll be giving everything I have on the 25th, but I know the temporary pain of an ultramarathon is nothing compared to the battles many face every day.


Together, let’s get behind Lifeline and make sure that no one faces their toughest moments alone. Backing Lifeline means backing the chance to save a life - a decision you’ll never regret.
