    ABOUT Jacob Picton

    Killabakh, NSW

    Only 18 months after discovering athletics, Jacob has already begun to shine.

    Running has quickly become his passion. What started at the school level soon turned into something much bigger as Jacob smashed his personal bests and progressed through zone and regional competitions — and now all the way to state level.

    His dedication and love for the sport have now earned him selection to represent NSW in Queensland this April.

    As Jacob continues to chase his dream, we’re beginning the next step of his journey — finding professional coaching to help him reach his full potential.

    Since discovering athletics, Jacob truly shines a little brighter every day. With your support, we can help him continue developing his skills and assist with the costs that come with training, travel, and competition.

    Every donation, big or small, helps bring Jacob one step closer to his dream of competing on the international stage. Thank you for supporting his journey.
