Help me reach my goal of $10,000

My Challenge is to...

Running / walking 24 hours. Minimum 122km for the average of 122,000 Aussies doing it tough.

for Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

I run, a lot.. as most people are aware.

However I’ve never ran more than a marathon in one to.


On Friday the 23rd of October at 7:00am, I will be attempting to run for 24 hours (minimum 122km)

Starting behind The Silo Hotel up to the juice bar and back.

1.4km up, 1.4km back. 2.8km total for 24 hours.




And here’s what most people don’t know:
WE ARE MOBILISE: about homelessness

94% of them are hidden from view – on a friend’s couch, in a car, in overcrowded housing that falls below any minimum standard. What we see on the streets is just the surface.

Goal:  to help make a difference for the community now and long term.
This is my 3rd year taking part in NUC.
2024 I ran 10km a day for 31 days in October. (310km total)
2025 I ran an average of 16/2km a day for 31 days in October. (500km total)

Why 122km? There are an average of 122,000 Aussies doing it tough across the country. Going without housing, food, water, a safe place to go each night.
Having experienced this personally as a kid with my mother when I was 11 in Launceston, Tas.
I want to do my part where I can. Raise awareness, raise as much money as I can to help and support those who may be nearing homelessness.
This could be someone you know. a family member, a close friend, a colleague, someone you have walked by and spoke to in passing. People know how to put on a front and act as though life is okay and they're doing great. You would be surprised.

I want to get uncomfortable even for 24 hours (and the days after during recovery) because 1 day VS a few weeks, months, even years is nothing.

Lets work together. If you can donate, THANK YOU.
If you can share the link and show support. THANK YOU.
If you want to join for a lap on the day or during training. THANK YOU.

If you're a business/ individual that can sponsor in anyway. I am needing to find support with nutrition, recovery, running gear (shoes, socks, singlets, running gels you name it)
Tips, tricks, guidance ect. everything will be appreciated! 

(INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK:  @BLUEYRUNS)


Thank you. I appreciate you and looking forward to another year of NUC!

122km / 19:53:47

Wednesday 28th Oct
I did it holy heck I did it… Friday the 23rd October into Saturday the 24th. One goal… 122km in 24 hours. From the moment I started at 7:00am with my brother Brett, Kelly, Will, Jess and Sammy to when I finished almost 20 hours later I was supporter. By family, friends, old teachers, strangers… and how lucky am I!? I was on such a high and moving well all the way through to the half way point of 61km in the heat and sun! Still cruising through to the 100km mark when it started to rain and feeling so blessed and appreciative of every person that crossed the milestone with me. 106km I started to feel the pain in the muscles, the sun was down, the heat was gone, the rain had stopped and the adrenaline started to wear off.. 109km I made the decision that if I was going to finish the 122 I had to walk. That alone was more of a battle than the first 109km… I still wasn’t alone. My brother Darren and his mate Brad, alongside Bridie, George, Kelly. I felt like I was in the trenches and was going to pull the pin, I got mean, everything was frustrating me. The clothes on my skin, the food and water I could no longer stomach, the toilet break at 110km where I noticed the chafe burning. I couldn’t even lift my legs up to stretch and Kelly had to lift them for me up to my butt to get some movement in. This wouldn’t have been possible without every single person that showed up on the day. The ones that ran, walked, stood by the Gazebo in the heat, rain and the dark to make sure I made every 2.8km lap on one piece. The run is done but we are not.. Trackathon on Saturday the 31st of October . A marathon around a 400m track with 122 other amazing people to give NUC a final send off.

$10,000 ON OR BEFORE THURSDAY THE 22ND...

Monday 19th Oct
its been confirmed and I am committed, if I reach my $10,000 goal on or before the 22nd (day before my big run)

I will be letting my two Nephews; Tanner and Jetty shave my head.

Hair grows back, whats a few weeks of feeling and looking a little different and being uncomfortable by choice to help those who arent as fortunate?!

Lets go! 

Keep moving forward.

Wednesday 7th Oct
Just a kid trying to make a difference. 💙

$7000!

Wednesday 7th Oct
I am honestly blown away and so incredibly grateful to every single person that’s donated once or even multiple times! 
Liked and interacted with all of my posts, shared them to your own social media.

Slowly but surely are we getting closer to the $10,000 goal! We’re not done just yet…

GIVE AWAY:

Wednesday 23rd Sep
Reminder, give away ends on October 19th.

for every $36 donated, is one entry.
(see the posts below/ instagram @blueylowe for the 3 packs)

CAN WE GET TO $6000 BEFORE MONDAY 21ST?

Saturday 19th Sep
$5550 before Monday 21st and I will donate $250 on my own money.

$6000 before Monday 21st and I'll still donate $250 AND I will run my next park run (5km) In platform crocs..

The things I do to raise money... WORTH IT

Over half way!

Thursday 17th Sep
I am truly so so grateful for every single person that has taken the time to view my page, read my pulse artical and donate! I promise you it’s all going to someone in need. Please check out We Are Mobilise on their website and social media. They show the direct impact of where your money is going. You can also follow along on my instagram- blueyruns or join on the day. 🩵 Thank you again.

HOW LUCKY ARE WE?!

Wednesday 2nd Sep
The kilometers each day and week are increasing as well as the donations.
I am incredibly grateful to every single person that has donated, shared my posts, allowed me to put them up in your workplaces and giving me all the kind words and motivation.

The energy and motivation is high! Im sure the legs may give in before the challenge but as always KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

$36 is one night of save accommodation for one person. with my goal of $10,000 . that could be one night for 277 people or almost a year for one person who is in need.

I have spent more than $36 in one night on uber eats on food I didn't need, i could have easily just cooked my own food but it was convenient and 'just because.'  Not everyone has that Luxury to have a smart phone with data, that can download apps, where they can click a few buttons, have the money to pay online to have food delivered to their own home.. how lucky are we?

I know its hard to justify donating to a company and not knowing directly where it goes. Just google ' we are mobilise' check out their website, their stats, their impact reports. Look at their social media where they show real people in real time getting support from all the donations.

This is year 3 of this challenge for me and it keeps getting bigger and bigger! 

Are you ready?!

GIVE AWAY!

Thursday 27th Aug
