My Challenge is to...

half marathon a day

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 really 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 that to myself by running a half marathon every day for 10 days straight.

But this challenge is about more than just pushing myself.

Every dollar I raise goes to We Are Mobilise, supporting people experiencing homelessness across Australia. Homelessness can happen to people for so many different reasons, and for those experiencing it, “uncomfortable” isn’t a challenge they get to choose for 10 days — it can be their reality every single day.

I get to choose to put myself through something difficult, knowing that at the end of each run I still have a home, a bed, food and somewhere safe to recover. Not everyone has that privilege.

So while I’m testing my own limits, I want to use it to help people facing challenges far greater than the kilometres I’ll be running.

If you can chuck something in, no matter how much, you’re part of it too.

10 days. 10 half marathons. 211km.
