Record numbers hit Perth streets for charity run as Adam Selwood honoured
More than 40,000 Perth residents took part in the largest HBF Run For A Reason to date on Sunday, raising more than $1.9 million and paying tribute to former West Coast Eagle Adam Selwood, who died earlier this month. Before his death, Selwood had registered to take part in this year's half-marathon to honour his twin brother and former Brisbane Lion Troy, who tragically also died in February this year, and raise money for mental health. HBF chief executive Dr Lachlan Henderson thanked the work of Perth's charities and said the 2025 event had special but tragic significance given the recent news that has rocked the Selwood family and AFL community. 'This year's event carried special significance following the recent passing of former West Coast Eagle Adam Selwood, who had registered to run the half-marathon in honour of his twin brother, Troy, who passed away in February,' he said. 'The tragic loss of Adam and Troy reminds us of the humanity behind every bib number – each participant is driven by a reason, a memory or a cause that matters deeply to them.' Loading Adam Selwood's fundraising target for mental health charity zero2hero, which started at $10,000, has now reached more than $76,000 and counting. Several former West Coast players were believed to have taken part in the half-marathon event to honour the late Eagle and his fundraising efforts. Participants ran, walked or wheeled across one of three sold-out distances: the Brooks Half Marathon, the Specsavers 12-kilometre or the CommBank three-kilometre courses.
