Despite working full-time, race entries, gear and costs of managing multiple health conditions are adding up.

I love the endurance sport world and enjoy doing my bit to make sport more inclusive and encourage others through initiatives like a run & wellness club and providing helpful information to beginners or people with similar health struggles.

I've qualified to represent Australia twice this year, but the costs associated with overseas racing are high, and would mean some of my other initiatives and goals would need to be put on hold.

The reality is that my chronic conditions will progress to the point where my body is unable to compete at this level, so I would absolutely love to be able to take the opportunity to compete in the 2026 world championships. However, my wellness and sport inclusivity initiatives have gained fantastic momentum at the moment so I'd love to find a way to continue this as well.

I would be forever grateful for your support to continue making sport a more inclusive place for all, and to live out my world representative dreams while I can.

If you have any questions or would like to connect, my messages are always open at instagram.com/katemareebrown. I'd love to chat :)

Your support is appreciated more than I could possibly say. Thank you!
