Help me reach my goal of $600

My Challenge is to Run 1 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

It pushes me to do something I've never done before. I'm stepping up to this challenge to not only build my resilience and grow personally but also to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping people in Australia experiencing homelessness.

Please help me reach my goal

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 10

Tuesday 29th Oct
Today was the last day of my Uncomfortable Challenge and I got to run in front of the whole school. Everyone came out to cheer and support me and all my friends from Kindy ran with me. It was amazing and it made me run super fast with everyone cheering me on. I've never heard so many people call my name before.

Thanks to everyone who's donated and a super big thank you to my school for supporting me and helping me run my last 1km.

I wanted to do this challenge to help people who are homeless and I feel very happy to have raised this money for them.

1km run time: 7:23

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 9

Tuesday 29th Oct
My last neighbourhood loop run. I tried to run my fastest time but by dog pushed me over and I had blood on my knees and my hand hurt. I kept going though and didn't even cry. My friend Zoe gave me a bean from her garden when I ran past her house.

1km run time: 8:19

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 8

Tuesday 29th Oct
Today was a lovely day so I went to the beach and decided to run there. It was really hard to run in the sand and the water. And my dog was very excited. I had Nippers in the morning so I'd already been running lots but I went back to the beach again anyway.


1km beach run time: 8:40

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 7

Saturday 26th Oct
I did not want to run today. It was hard and I wasn't super fast. Also by friends Zoe and Amanda weren't home so they didn't cheer me on and I felt sad. I only have 3 days left so I will keep trying hard. I hope it doesn't rain. 

1km run time: 9:19

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 6

Saturday 26th Oct
I was very tired today from a big week and didn't start my run till late. My mummy and puppy ran with me today. I didn't think Zoe was out the front of her house but when I got close I saw her. She ran with me to the end of the street and then I felt good running home.

1km run time 8:00

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 5

Thursday 24th Oct
INJURY ALERT - I fell over. It was bleeding and really hurt. I kept going on even though I was bleeding. It slowed me down but I kept going. That's why it's called the Uncomfortable Challenge

1km run time: 9:04

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 4

Wednesday 23rd Oct
My support crew gave me a glass of water, a strawberry, a flower, and a note at the half way mark and my friend Zoe ran with me to the end of the street - thanks for supporting me. I was really thirsty.

1km run time: 7:47

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 3

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Today I felt good running and it was nice weather conditions and I didn't feel sick. 

My neighbour friends were standing outside cheering me on as I ran past their house (Hi Zoe).

I ran super fast today but was slower because I sopped to pick up a snail.

1km run time: 7:52

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 2

Monday 21st Oct
After a busy day at Kindy and Jiu-Jitsu after school, Charlie was excited to hit the pavement for day 2 and WOW, what a run. Charlie ran a whole minute faster today than he did yesterday! He was joined by his dad and his dog and was cheered on by his neighbours Zoe and Amanda - Go Charlie!

1km run time: 7:50

Charlie's Uncomfortable Challenge - Day 1

Sunday 20th Oct
Charlie started his uncomfortable challenge strong running 1km in 8:54.

He was feeling very tired after an early start at Nippers but was excited to get out there.
