Getting INVOLVED

How does the challenge work?

add remove

Nedd is completing his challenge between the 3rd and 13th of October and Australia (YOU) will be completing your challenge between the 20th and 29th of October. You choose something that makes you uncomfortable and commit to doing that every day for 10 days between the 20th and 29th of October. There isn't much more to it except it has to be uncomfortable to YOU and you have to do it every day for 10 days.

It can be anything from a fitness-based challenge to something that might test your discipline or willpower. See Choosing Your Challenge for more info!

In support of Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge, for this campaign we will be focusing on raising money for We Are Mobilise to support people experiencing homelessness in Australia.

Who is We Are Mobilise?

add remove

Mobilise exists to unite Australia to end homelessness by developing innovative solutions that positively transform the lives of those facing it. They pilot, iterate, and deliver life-changing support at scale.

Their work is not just about providing assistance. It's about learning from those with lived experience. Eight years of outreach conversations have directly impacted the development of their programs. With those learnings and armed with over $2 million raised from Nedd's Record Run in 2022, they have already positively transformed the lives of 100+ program participants.

As the first charity to launch direct cash transfer programs for this population in Australia, they are paving the way for public acceptance of this approach.
