My Challenge is to...
run the Gibb river road (660km) over 13 days
for Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge
My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...
I want to know what I'm capable of, and you only ever find that out when things get hard. We've all got more in us than we think, and I'm about to get uncomfortable to prove it to myself. This October, I’ll be running the entire Gibb River Road — 660 kilometres over 12-13 days — as part of Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge. And it means something: every dollar I raise goes to We Are Mobilise, helping people experiencing homelessness across Australia get back on their feet. If you can chuck something in, you're part of it too. Lesssgo.

Best of luck with the last few days of your run. Your nanna is pretty proud of you. She told me about your story while she was making me a coffee, and I let her know I’m from Broome. I asked her if you knew how hot it was before you set off on your run, because doing this run would be hard enough, let alone as the Kimberley heads into the wet season. Great effort, mate!
