The stamina to help those who hurt

Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital medical intern Dr Ethan Stirrat is not only changing lives inside the hospital but also out, raising more than $100,000 to support vulnerable Western Australians through his own charity, Hurt to Help Limited.

Ethan founded Hurt to Help Limited in 2023 to raise fund for people affected by medical issues, accidents, natural disaster and domestic violence.

His hands-on leadership and commitment to zero administrative costs ensure all funds go directly to the people and families who need it.

The 25-year-old from Muntadgin, a small wheatbelt town between Bruce Rock and Southern Cross, inspires others to undertake challenging mental and physical feats to raise funds in support of Western Australian who have endured tough times.

Ethan certainly has stamina; he currently is working in vascular medicine on his intern rotation; his ambition is to be a surgeon.  

Last month he challenged himself to the Morph marathon which involves running two marathons within a day and completing almost 10,000 exercises

Ethan ran 84.4km, completed 7176 squats, and 608 pull-ups, all while wearing a 20lb weighted vest.

“One of our beautiful recipients, Eliza, unfortunately lost her battle with cancer . . . we’re doing this for her," he said.

Ethan's charity work was recognised last month at the 7 NEWS Young Achiever Awards where he was awarded the People’s Choice Award.

Congratulations Ethan.
