Telethon 2026: Dozens of West Aussies spend weekend pushing body to limit with 24-hour community challenges
Dozens of West Australians are spending the weekend pushing their body to the limit as they dig deep for Telethon.
Fitstop Applecross is among many community groups holding a 24-hour fundraiser, with one of its members, Jaymee-Lee Quarmby, running 5km on the hour from 12.30pm on Saturday.
Fitstop Applecross manager Noah Ash said the marathon effort started at the Rowing Pavilion at 12pm on Saturday, with dozens of members joining Ms Quarmby for her first 5km.
He will join her for the graveyard shift from about midnight on Saturday but said he had “nothing to complain about” compared to Ms Quarmby’s gruelling effort.
