Help me reach my goal of $3,500

My Challenge is to Run 10 kilometres EVERY DAY FROM 20-29 OCT

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

My Challenge is to run 10km a day for 31 days in October.
 10km, 31 days, 310kms.

I started running June 2023 as both of my brothers run and do so well at it. As always, I wanted to be just like them!
I now run 60+km each week for the sake of it (training for a half marathon)
 

I experienced homelessness as a kid with my mother, living in and out of homeless shelters , caravan parks, family friends couches, and on the streets of Launceston and Hobart Tasmania. No one wanted to help us and we went without for months. I lost months of education, days without showers and food. We were relying on Op shops for clothes and help centres for food, sometimes getting a loaf of bread and canned food to last days. 

For me, this felt like I was the king of the world. No school, No rules, sleeping in places most kids wouldn't ever have to do and the thrill of not knowing what was next.
Now I look back, no child or even adults should experience this.

My eldest brother picked up the pieces  and took me in when he was only 21. Now we are 27 and 35. Put a roof over my head, made sure I was fed and got me back to school.
My other brother had already moved in with him but he still took the grunt for a while.

We are all now fit and healthy. We have full time jobs and friends and families that love, adore and support us.
We all love running and stay in touch daily despite be living in Brisbane and them in Tasmania.

I want to make a difference, I want to help where I can.
$1 or $500 would go a long way.

Today is day 2 /10 of Nedds Uncomfortable Challenge!

We have raised almost $3200 and I’m about to tick over 210km for the month of October.

HI!

I have reached my goal of $500 and then $1000!
So- because I want to do more and give back...

I will donate $20 for every $100 up until $2000.
If we go OVER $2000.. I will donate $50 for every $100 up until $2500. 
That's an additional $390! (I have donated and purchased the Pump Up $95 Pump Up pack where all proceeds go to the goal of $10,000,000!)
