Tragedy Tarnishes Triumph at WA's Biggest Charity Run The sombre note cast by a runner's death during Sunday's HBF Run for a Reason event is a stark reminder that even in the face of incredible generosity and community spirit, tragedy can strike without warning.
An estimated 40,000 participants flocked to Perth's CBD, raising nearly $1. 7 million for more than 350 local charities.
Behind the scenes, a 42 year old man participating in the half marathon event collapsed on Mounts Bay Road and later succumbed to his injuries.
