Janette Murray-Wakelin has been actively following a raw vegan lifestyle for over 11 years after she was diagnosed with cancer and was told she had 6 months to live. As a result, the lifestyle choices she made with the support of her partner Alan, set them both on a journey to optimal health. 

Throughout the year 2013, to inspire and motivate conscious lifestyle choices, to promote kindness and compassion for all living beings and to raise environmental awareness for a sustainable future, veteran raw vegan runners Janette and Alan ran together around Australia, 15,782 km, running 366 marathons (43 km) each in 366 days, no days off. On January 1, 2014, they acquired world acclaim by setting a new World Record as the only couple over the age of 60 fuelled entirely on raw fruit and veg, wearing barefoot shoes, to run 366 consecutive marathons while Running Raw Around Australia.

Since Running Raw Around Australia, they have been involved in making a film based on the Run, 'RAW -the Documentary' which is scheduled to be released globally during 2016.This film will bring the positive message of conscious living to the world. 'RAW -the Documentary' is now in post-production after the trailer and short film was accepted and screened at the Cannes Film Festival France in May 2015.

While in France, Janette continued her active lifestyle (with Alan) by walking the Pilgrim Way through France and Spain, 2200 km walking unaided with backpacks, completing the Walk in 80 days. They have recently returned to Melbourne from Europe and a 2 week Speaking Tour in Hong Kong and China.

Janette Murray-Wakelin has proved beyond any doubt that living a raw, vegan conscious lifestyle results in optimal health where physically, mentally and emotionally, anything is achievable.
