In a display of commitment to a worthy cause, mortgage leader Jean-Pierre Gortan, managing director of Simplicity Loans & Advisory, is lacing up his shoes to run in the Larapinta Trail Race to raise funds for the Women’s Resilience Centre (WRC).
Running alongside his friend Arpit Srivastava, Gortan hopes to raise $100,000 for the charity service, which provides long-term support for women transitioning from short-term crisis care to full recovery from trauma, profound loss, and domestic abuse.
“As a father of two young daughters, the cause of supporting at-risk women is incredibly important to me,” said Gortan (pictured above).
“From August 16-19, we will be running in the Larapinta stage race, of which participants will cover 127 kilometres over four days,” he said.
