More than 25,000 participants from more than 20 countries have completed their own 10 day challenge as Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge Part 2 has come to close.
Their combined efforts, with the support of 74,000 individual fundraising donors, has now raised more than $4.7 million dollars for We Are Mobilise, a charity providing functional care to those experiencing homelessness in Australia.
Participants were encouraged to embrace discomfort and commit to a personal challenge for 10 days from October 20 to 29 alongside their own fundraising efforts for Mobilise.
Challenges ranged from running, swimming, cycling, to ice baths, meditation, community support activities and many more that pushed people outside their comfort zone.
The 25,000 participants were inspired by Nedd’s own uncomfortable challenge which saw him run 1,000 miles or 1,609.34 kilometres in 12 days, 13 hours and 45 seconds earlier this month at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre.
Brockmann’s time ranks him as the second fastest Australian to run the 1000 miles and places him in the top ten in the world.
Nedd has thanked some of the most inspiring challenge participants at an event in Sydney presented by partner Samsung which concluded with Nedd on behalf of all participants and donors presenting a cheque to Mobilise founder Noah Yang for $4.6 million - the total just keeps climbing.
Whilst the majority of participants have concluded their challenge, there are others still finishing over the coming days, so donations are still open as we push towards $5 million.
