My Challenge is to...

Run 10km a day

for Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

It pushes me out of my comfort zone, whilst I make running part of my life on a regular basis 10kms a day will be uncomfortable but I will show up even on the days that I am tired, sore and if I have more to give I will. 

just like Nedd’s journey inspires us all to do. I'm stepping up to this challenge to not only grow personally but also to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping people in Australia experiencing homelessness.

My reason

Monday 29th Sep
I’ll be running 10km each day as part of the Uncomfortable Challenge — not for a personal best, not for a medal, but for something that matters far more: to raise awareness and funds for people experiencing homelessness in Australia.

I signed up for this challenge because I believe running should be about more than chasing PBs. Sometimes, it should be about showing up for others — especially those who don't have the privilege of safety, shelter, or stability. While I’ve never experienced homelessness myself, I know the current cost-of-living crisis is pushing more and more people to the edge. It’s tough out there for everyone, but for some, it’s a matter of survival.
Homelessness isn’t just about sleeping rough. It’s about people couch surfing, living in cars, or staying in unsafe situations because there are no better options. We can — and should — do more. That means accessible shelters, food services, mental health support, and safe places to rest and rebuild.

Doing something uncomfortable for 10 days is a small ask compared to the daily discomfort and uncertainty faced by thousands across the small ask compared to the daily discomfort and uncertainty faced by thousands across the country. If I can turn each run into a ripple — into a conversation, a donation, or a moment of awareness — then the effort is worth every step.

If you’re in a position to support, I’d love for you to donate to this cause. Your contribution will help create real change, and give someone the support they need to get back on their feet.

Thanks for reading — and for being part of something that matters.
