Team Fundraiser: The ASICS Gold Coast Marathon 2026
Collins Hume Accountants Kaleb Morhaus and Sam Gardnir take on the 2026 ASICS Gold Coast Marathon to support an incredible cause — Beyond Blue.
On 4-5 July 2026 they’ll join more than 40,000 runners from around the world at Australia’s premier road running event, tackling one of the country’s most iconic flat and fast marathon courses along the stunning Gold Coast coastline.
But this run is about far more than finish lines and personal bests.
They’re running to help Beyond Blue continue providing free 24/7 mental health support to Australians doing it tough.
Right now:
More than 3 million Australians live with anxiety
More than 1 million experience depression
On average, nine Australians die by suicide every day
Every call to the Beyond Blue Support Service matters — and it costs around $66 to answer each one.
That means every donation genuinely helps ensure someone in crisis can reach a trained counsellor when they need support most.
If you can, please support Kaleb and Sam with a donation — big or small — and help them make every kilometre count for mental health.
Together, let's help ensure no call for help goes unanswered.
Beyond Blue has spent 25 years working alongside Australians to improve mental health awareness, reduce stigma and help prevent suicide. The demand for support continues to grow, and fundraising efforts like this directly help keep the service available to anyone who needs it. Read more at https://www.beyondblue.org.au
The ASICS Gold Coast Marathon is now in its 46th year and is recognised internationally as one of the world’s leading road running events, famous for its fast, scenic course and incredible atmosphere.
Collins Hume’s broader community focus extends beyond sponsorships through ongoing support of regional initiatives, local organisations and impact-driven programs that help strengthen communities. Read more at collinshume.com/impact
