Our Athletes

Leading from the front — on and off the course. Ethan brings relentless energy to every event he takes on for the Hurt to Help community.

Brodie Chalwell is a 31-year-old financial planner and the Treasurer of Hurt to Help, playing a key role behind the scenes while also proudly representing H2H as an athlete. Often describing himself as more of an "everyday" endurance athlete, Brodie proves that pushing limits, and making a difference, isn't reserved for elites.

Turning personal challenge into community impact. Jamie proves that every individual effort adds up to something much bigger.

Every finish line is a fundraising milestone. Simon races with quiet determination and a big heart for the families H2H supports.

I'm a Hurt to Help Athlete trying to raise $10,000 by running an Ultra marathon every single month of 2026. There are families out there that don't get a choice to have a rest day. They show up every day, no matter the circumstances — and so will I.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people, whether through my profession teaching people to live a healthier lifestyle, or by helping people in any other form. I also have an uncanny ability to tolerate discomfort — so I decided to use it for the good of others.

I want every kilometre, every moment of pain and every time I have to dig deep to mean something beyond my own finish. I'm lucky enough to choose this — and if I can use that to make someone else's life a little easier, then it's worth every step.

Endurance sport has become a huge part of my life over the past few years — from half marathons and trail races to 70.3s and Ironmans. What keeps me coming back isn't just chasing times. It's the people I meet and the community that comes with pushing towards something together.

I’ve been running ultra-marathons for the last 6 years, and over that time I’ve found a real passion for the endless grind of Backyard Ultras, where it comes down to mental grit, community, and seeing just how far the human mind and body can go.
