My Challenge is to Run 3 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024
My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...
It pushes me out of my comfort zone, just like Nedd’s journey inspires us all to do. Lesssgo Ned!
I was told that I'm not allowed to run 3km so I want to run 10x that.
I'm stepping up to this challenge to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping people in Australia experiencing homelessness.
I'd also like to support inclusion for athletes with short-stature by stopping the ban on running distances longer than 400m.

What a mind-blowing journey
Sunday 1st Dec
Thank you again to my incredible sponsors: CommBank, Puma, Budgy Smuggler, Posi Socks, Mitre 10, Lynx and Wonder.
I finished off the challenge with an honour guard at my school and a personal hand shake from Nedd. It was unforgettable.
