Luna Park Melbourne is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of Blake’s Big Red Run, coming on board as Blake’s official “Fun Partner” in his inspiring mission to raise awareness and funds for mental health support in Australia.
The Mission
On August 3rd, 2025, Blake Bourne will attempt to break the Guinness World Record by becoming the fastest person to run non-stop across the Simpson Desert. This monumental 380km journey must be completed in under 3 days and 8 hours. Beyond the challenge, Blake’s mission is deeply personal – to raise $38,000 for mental health charity Speak & Share, symbolising $100 for every kilometre run.
Blake’s journey is driven by a powerful message of resilience and hope. After overcoming his own mental health battles, Blake is determined to inspire meaningful conversations and empower Australians to take charge of their mental well-being.
As a proud ‘fun partner’, Luna Park Melbourne will be supporting Blake along the journey.
Renowned for creating joy and unforgettable memories, we are proud to support Blake’s mission and this cause.
Recognising the importance of promoting positive mental health, Luna Park is partnering with Blake to host community fundraising initiatives such as The Uncomfortable Challenge. The Uncomfortable Challenge will feature exciting prizes designed to encourage participation and support mental well-being, reinforcing the message that fun and connection play a vital role in mental health.
Blake’s Big Red Run is more than an athletic feat; it’s a movement for change. Along with Luna Park Melbourne, Blake aims to inspire action, raise crucial funds, and encourage open conversations around mental health nationwide.
