Help me reach my goal of $800

My Challenge is to eat clean (no junk food) [Lara], 8 glasses of water a day [Lachie], eat clean and avoid alcohol [Megan], cold showers [Dougie] EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

it pushes us outside of our current comfortable habits (long hot showers, eating and drinking for taste rather than nutrition, and lacking the hydration our bodies love).    

All four of us were so inspired by Nedd's ability to push through mental and physical barriers, and know that there is growth there for the taking, if we can do the same. 

We really want to make a difference by raising money and awareness for homeless people in Australia who are doing it tough.

Please help me reach my goal

Day 6, 7, 8

Monday 28th Oct
Lachie and Dougie were around the Brisbane River on Saturday and were reminded just how bad homelessness has become in Brisbane. More tents than we've seen before, in the parks at West End, under the Go Between Bridge, under Coronation drive.
A reminder for why we're passionate for Nedd's cause.

Dougie - the showers are not getting any easier. Yesterday I was already cold before jumping in. Shivered for the whole time and was out in 3 minutes.

Lara and Megan served baked goods at the democracry sausage sizzle at school.  Lara was so committed, serving dozens of cakes and brownies, but she stuck with the fruit skewers and sausages. Megan had a very tasty wholefoods biscuit made by one of the school parents.

Lachie has been drinking so much water!  When asked if he was feeling good for it, his reply was an emphatic "YES!". He also wanted to mention he ran about 1km yesterday at the park.  He had serious Nedd vibes about him as he did lap after lap of the bike track.  

New target, baby!

Thursday 24th Oct
Because of all the legendary donors so far, we are upping our target... Was $600, now $800.  Lessssgo!

Day 5

Thursday 24th Oct
We are almost halfway through our challenge and with all of our amazing donors' generosity, we have smashed our $600 target!   

A massive thanks to everyone who has donated - we are so grateful for your support of the cause and the challenge...

Lachie says "it's been hard drinking much more water than I'm used to"

Lara says "it's been very hard not being able to eat any treats but my body feels way better for it and I've got more energy"

Dougie says "Day 4 shower was by far the worst.  Cold morning made the water colder? On the home stretch now as we pass halfway"

Megan says "feeling amazing from the clean eating - my body is thanking me for this challenge!  Watching the donations come in has been such a great vibe and a really special reinforcement of shared values with our family and friends.  Saw a photo online today of a homeless woman (shared with her permission) who'd had a tent donated to her with bedding and fairy lights and she looked so happy and content and grateful.  It was yet another reminder to be grateful for all of the abundance in our comparably comfortable lives, and to keep sharing our Uncomfortable Challenge with more people to promote awareness and raise more funds."
 


Day 3

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Dougie - These showers are NOT getting any easier. They suck... Might have to take my Brother's advice and not shower for a bit 😂

Lara - Did amazingly well at dinner tonight, avoiding the chips and ice cream dessert - very proud of her commitment to the cause. Dougie will be be donating an extra $5 for that effort - she was uncomfortable but determined!

Megan - Has been tempted several times by the ginger beer in the fridge, and tim tams at the office today, but has thus far avoided giving into temptation - for a good cause...  

Lachie - Traveling well thus far, kicking goals with the water intake; his will and intention is strong  ✌️

Thank you to everyone's really generous donations in the past couple of days.  We are over half way to our target!

Day 1

Sunday 20th Oct
We switched Sunday crepes for Bacon and Eggs, Lara made a fruit smoothie for morning tea and Lachie has had one glass of water so far. Dougie is yet to shower today...

Considering how to lock up the dark choccy or whether it needs to be given away to help avoid temptation!!! 

We are going to set up a food and toiletries donation crate out the front of our house for the next 10 days and letterbox drop our neighbours in case they want to make any donations for a local food pantry.

I assume Dougie just won’t shower for 10 days, right. Just pretend it’s like a 10 day music festival, minus the drugs. Or the music. Or the festival.
