Young Billy Isaacs of Fountaindale will hold a special fundraiser for Central Coast Kids in Need (CCKIN) on May 24.
Naming his event Billt Different, the Lisarow High School student will attempt to break the world record and become the youngest person ever to complete a 160.9km (100 mile) run at the age of 12 years, four months.
“I want to do this to help sick kids in need,” Billy said.
“I also want to push myself physically and mentally beyond what a 12-year-old should; I love running.”
Proud Dad Cameron Isaacs said the run would be achieved over 403 laps of the Mingara athletics track at Tumbi Umbi.
“This extraordinary feat isn’t just about personal achievement for Billy,” Isaacs said.
“He’s dedicating his run to raising funds for Central Coast Kids In Need – an organisation that provides assistance by easing the financial burden for medication, equipment, travel and accommodation for families with sick kids.
“He has been training for this event for the past 10 months, pushing his physical and mental limits to prepare for this gruelling challenge.
“He is driven to make a real difference in the lives of others and we are incredibly proud of his dedication.”
The event will take place at the Mingara athletics track from 10am on May 24.
