My Challenge is to Run 10 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. I'm stepping up to this challenge to not only grow personally but also to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping people in Australia experiencing homelessness.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking.”
Felt 100x better for the run this morning, 7km at a half decent pace. As you can imagine the legs are fighting a battle on their own at the moment but we keep pushing.
A little too much liquid prior meant a good little chuck about 4km in. My apologies to the poor lady and her dog who got to watch that first hand. A laugh was shared!
Pushed the rest of the run out this afternoon after work around mayfield and set a pace I was more than happy with over the 3.1km. Progress on the horizon. Happy days!! Not sure if easier or harder having to split the run in two at the moment because of work but we will see Saturday and Sunday.
$922 RAISED. Absolutely mental and I am starting to feel so proud of what I am doing! Life changing to be honest.
PLEASE DONATE if you can spare anything. $5 goes a long way!! Let’s get to $1000 tonight.
Onto day 5. LESSSS GOOOOOO!!! 🚀
Song of the day!

ShareDAY THREE.
Wednesday 23rd OctDAY THREE.
“Everything you've ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear.”
The battle was real today and to say I was in the trenches this afternoon is an understatement. Definitely underestimated the effects a 30 degree day at work on a roof would have on me come 4pm this afternoon when I set off.
The legs were gone after about 500m and the battle began. But we battled through, albeit a slower time but there is no quitting. I’ll get this done whether I have to walk it and take 3 hours doing so. Then I stopped for a quick gel to hydrate and forgot to turn the watch back on so lost 1km, falling apart at the seams at that point.
Let’s hope to bounce back tomorrow with a better run in the morning.
Legs are absolutely cactus but the motivation is at an all time high. Saw an old friend towards the end of my run today and as I ran off with my headphones blaring he yelled I’ll be donating tonight you legend. Mitch you are a lord mate! ❤️
$606 raised so far and I am lost for words and the emotions set in today. Link in my bio and in the comments.
PLEASE DONATE.
Onto day 4. LESSSS GOOOOOO!!! 🚀

ShareDay Two Update.
Tuesday 22nd OctAnother 10km in the pins and feeling it.
As a back story I haven’t ran over 1km in honestly 5 years since doing every ligament in my ankle for a second time and being forced to retire from football.
The inspiration I have taken from watching Nedd achieve what he just did I can’t even explain to you.
Standing on the fence at Sydney Olympic Park on the first Sunday after the grand final, the Monday morning after that and then travelling down to see the last night of his run was life changing. This guy is the terminator!
To say I’m in the trenches and uncomfortable doing this 10km a day along with the other side quests is an understatement.
But fuck it makes you realise how capable you are as a human being when you set a goal and don’t give up.
$216 raised so far and I couldn’t appreciate it more. Let’s get people off the street! No one should live like that. Link in bio, please donate!!!!
