Night ten: the final run

Thank you @kelley.media for capturing my final night in a way that can just about sum up the challenge itself.

For 10 days I ran 21.1km every night to raise money for @wearemobilise a part of @neddsuncomfortablechallenge As an ambassador for the challenge this year I had motivation like never before as well as a new community to share that with.

Thank you to my fellow ambassadors. A group that is now bonded by the drive to help others, but also push themselves for the better. I could not have achieved this without your support.

Family and friends you are amazing. Cannot thank you enough for the donations. The support. The conversations. The empathy. The running. The kind hearts you all had throughout the process itself.

And to the brands & businesses that helped me make this challenge bigger than just me. You contributed in such a variety of ways. Each is forever appreciated.

The journey to NUC was exciting & something I could never have dreamt of. During NUC, it was uncomfortable in ways I didn’t expect. I learnt so much & I am excited to try & process those learnings into what’s to come. I’m proud of myself body for what it achieved in what was mostly pain-free. I’m proud of my mind for taking every moment as an opportunity to keep going, even when it didn’t want to.

NUC 2026 is complete ✅
