Getting uncomfortable for the 122,000 Australians without a home tonight

Progressive Sports Medicine has signed up for Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge, and we would love our patients, staff and friends to be part of it.

From 19 to 28 October, our team will take on something hard every single day for 10 days, raising money for We Are Mobilise, a charity that helps people experiencing homelessness into safe housing. Dr David Samra is starting us off with 122 chin-ups a day, one for every thousand Australians who have no home to go to tonight.

Every day in clinic we see what people are capable of. Patients come back from injuries, surgery and setbacks that would have been easy to give in to. People are far more resilient than they give themselves credit for, and that is worth celebrating. It is also worth sharing. Those of us with strength to spare, and a little wealth to spare, can put both to work for people in our own community whose resilience is being tested in ways most of us will never face.

Here is how you can help:

Donate. Every $36 funds a night of housing, and donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Join the team. Pick something that is hard for you (a daily walk, cold showers, no social media) and do it alongside us.

Share this page with someone who might chip in.

Our team goal is $2,000. Thank you for getting behind us.
