Last weekend, the Albion Park beauty hosted a charity fun run in her home town, which raised $2000 for the Ronald McDonald House scheme.
Now she is lending her face and energy to the 2009 Mother's Day Family Fun 'n' Run/Walk, in which all proceeds go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Ms Richardson said fun runs were an easy and enjoyable way to raise money for good causes.
"It is quite hard to organise but you can raise a bit of money in a short amount of time," she said.
"But I think the main point about it is you are raising money in a fun and fit environment that is welcoming to families. Everyone can come along."
The Mother's Day Fun 'n' Run/Walk will be held on Sunday, May 10 and was launched yesterday in Crown St Mall.
The event features 5km and 2km options, with the track located between North Wollongong and Fairy Meadow surf clubs.
Ms Richardson said she had personal reasons for wanting to help out with the event.
"My grandmother had breast cancer twice and my other nan's sister had it so it is very much in my family," she said. "I think it's just about realising it has affected me and people I love."
Early-bird entry fees cost $15/$8 or $40 for a family. Entry on the day costs $20/$10/$50.
