Join Us: IAMKIND x Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge 2025

October 20–29, 2025

10 days. 10 uncomfortable challenges. One powerful purpose.

In Queensland alone, over 22,395 people are experiencing homelessness right now — a number that includes children doing homework in shelters, mothers sleeping in cars, and workers without a place to rest. These are not just statistics. They are stories. People. Our neighbours.

At the IAMKIND Movement, we believe that kindness isn’t just about feeling good — it’s about doing good. That’s why we’re stepping up for Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge 2025, and we’re inviting YOU to do it with us.

For 10 days straight, from October 20–29, we’ll be completing daily physical and symbolic challenges grounded in real data, each representing the lived experiences of those affected by homelessness in our own community:

1. 1.74km of burpee broad jumps
2. Go without 13 common comforts for 13 hours
3. Sleep rough for a night
4. Donate 20 toys
5. Feed 72 people in 72 minutes
6. Run 22.395km
7. Sit in silence for one hour
8. Work a full day then hike 3.6km with a packed bag
9. Hand out 30 care packages
10. 55 minute swim

Each challenge is uncomfortable — but that’s the point. Homelessness is uncomfortable. It's unjust. And it deserves our empathy, attention, and action.

We’re inviting our whole community to get involved and take on the challenge with us — one day, all ten days, or even just one act of kindness. Join us in person for selected challenges or complete them in your own way from wherever you are. Whether you're running beside us, making care packages, or giving up everyday comforts, your impact matters.

When you join our team, you’re doing more than just ticking off tough tasks. You’re amplifying the voices of those too often silenced, and you’re proving that kindness is not just a feeling — it’s advocacy in motion.

Together, we’re stronger. Together, we’re kinder. Together, we make a real change.
