THE MISSION

Hi, I am Bronx Goodwin, former NRL player and firefighter for NSW Fire Rescue. After completing my first marathon in April, I will be doing another marathon for children in need, in 2027. This isn’t just a run.

I’ll be running from regional New South Wales to the coastline, pushing through hundreds of kilometres to raise funds for children suffering serious burn injuries. The mission is to have people in the community along the route join me in supporting the cause.

Firefighters see firsthand how devastating these injuries can be.

This run is about stepping up and doing something to help.

Before I became a firefighter with Fire and Rescue NSW, I’ve spent over 20 years as a professional athlete.

NRL and professional sport has taught me discipline, resilience, and how to keep going when things get hard, even when you’re exhausted, even when it hurts, even when no one is watching. Today, I serve as a firefighter, and I see things most people never do.

I’ve been on the front line of devastating fires and emergencies involving children with serious burn injuries. I’ve stood in hospitals and seen what recovery actually looks like, not just physically, but emotionally for the child and their family.

You don’t forget that.

Bush to Beach started as a thought I couldn’t shake:
If I can push my body for sport… if I can push myself in my job every day… then I can push myself to do something that actually helps these kids in a real way.

So I’m running from bush to beach across New South Wales.

Hundreds of kilometres. Solo. No shortcuts.

Not for recognition.
Not for a finish line.

But for the kids and families doing it far tougher than I ever will, this run is my way of stepping up for them.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A burn injury can happen in seconds.

But recovery can take months… even years.

  • Hospital stays replace childhood moments

  • Pain and rehabilitation become daily life

  • Families face long, difficult journeys

Your support helps change that.

THE CHALLENGE

  • Endurance run

  • Multi-day effort across NSW

  • Hundreds of kilometres

  • Physical and mental limits pushed daily

  • This run is open to the community, anyone can join! If you would like to be part of the run, dates will be available soon.
