Race with Grace:
Empower Survivors Through Movement & Raise Vital Funds.
In 2025, The Grace Tame Foundation has partnered with some of Australia’s leading running festivals, allowing our supporters to participate in an event close to them. By registering for one of the events, you will be empowering survivors through movement and raising vital funds for The Grace Tame Foundation to enable us to continue our mission.
By participating in one of the below-running events and joining Team Race with Grace, you’re not just hitting the pavement but helping raise vital funds to empower survivors. Your participation and fundraising efforts will directly support survivors with the tools they need to heal and thrive. You might also get an opportunity to run with Grace, who has committed to running in Run Melbourne and City 2 Surf in 2025.

Our Vision is of a future free from the sexual abuse of children and others.
The Grace Tame Foundation aims to ensure the Australian Government and governments of states and territories take appropriate action by enacting laws, delivering educational programs and encouraging social behaviours. It also promotes attitudes that fulfil obligations to ensure the right of children to be safe no matter where they are as per the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The Foundation also raises funds to support other projects and initiatives through grants. It seeks to partner with and support existing organisations and programs which align with the Foundation’s purpose.
We do this by:
Working with government, not-for-profits, legal experts and educators to improve protections in legislation and informing and educating people in our communities.
Challenging and changing societal norms and behaviours by supporting conversation about sexual abuse and amplifying survivor issues Learn More.
