Why I am fundraising for the Reach Foundation
This March, I am embarking on the The Reach Foundation's Very Uncomfortable challenge by running 100 kilometres across the month. Why am I fundraising for Reach? Because I believe in the power of vulnerability and stepping outside my comfort zone to effect change.
By participating in this challenge, I'm not only investing in my myself but also contributing to a cause that's dedicated to unlocking the power of others. Throughout March, I'll be pushing myself to stick to a consistent running routine and keep showing up for myself even when it feels uncomfortable.
Running has never come naturally to me and after a personally challenging start to 2024, I am excited to take on this physical challenge to look after my health and mental wellbeing.
Embracing discomfort isn't easy, but it's where growth thrives. I believe in the power of facing the unknown head-on, knowing that the journey toward personal growth is often found in the most uncomfortable moments.
As I take on this challenge, I'm not alone. Australians from all walks of life are joining forces, collectively stepping outside their comfort zones in support of mental health awareness.
Please stand with me in supporting Reach's invaluable work by donating today. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Get ready to face your fears. Get uncomfortable. And let's spark a mental health movement together.
My Updates
10% Done!
Wednesday 6th Mar I am 10km through my 100kms for the month - after a wedding and a few days off sick I am slightly behind target but looking to make up that progress with some longer runs over the next few days. With a lot going on personally and professionally I am enjoying the challenge of remaining consistent and committing to getting uncomfortable, even when jumping out of bed in the darkness to go for a run is the last thing I feel like doing!
