My Challenge is to Run 11 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024
My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...
Nedd’s goal was to break the world record time to complete
this distance. He didn’t succeed in breaking the record, however, in
trying to achieve it he effectively broke his body and displayed incredible
resilience and perseverance.
Nedd’s second goal is raising $10 million for We are
Mobilise and Nedd, Mateo and Mrs James are calling on you to help.
To do this, Nedd has put out a call to the community to do
something which makes them uncomfortable – not just once, but every day for 10
days.
Mateo and Mrs James have decided that they are going to push
themselves by setting the alarm clock super early and getting to the Centennial
Park Homestead by 5:45am each day commencing this Sunday, 20 October until 29
October and running three laps of Centennial Park (which is 11.1km).
This is not a race. It is about doing something which
puts them outside of their comfort zone and into a place that so many of our
less fortunate face daily. Fortunately for Mateo and Mrs James this is
just a 10 day challenge – but for so many people in our community this is a
challenge which has no end date and can extend for much longer periods.
Those who can go home after their daily run and shower, eat and travel to their
school or a stable job and income, are reminded to express gratitude for this luxury
that so many people in our community (and less fortunate communities around the
world) do not have.
Mateo and Mrs James would love for other Claremont parents,
students and friends to join them in this challenge. Even if it is just
for one lap or three, or for just a few days out of the 10, it is an
opportunity to express gratitude and remind ourselves we are a community, we
are lucky and we are strong.
If you can spread this message to other groups, clubs and
groups who may wish to join the cause, this would be greatly appreciated.
It is all hands on deck in support of a noble cause.
