122,000 Australians experience homelessness every day, and 1,424 of these people are in the City of Moreton Bay.

Statistics like these can make us feel powerless. At IAMKIND, we choose to respond differently. We believe that kindness creates change, communities create impact, and every single person has the ability to make a difference.

That's why, for the third consecutive year, IAMKIND is proudly taking part in Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge (NUC26). Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge is a 10-day community movement held from 19–28 October founded by Nedd Brockmann. Participants step outside their comfort zones to raise awareness and funds for homelessness. The challenge isn't about suffering—it's about choosing discomfort to create conversations, inspire generosity and remind people that everyone deserves dignity, connection and hope.

​

Why do we get involved? Our mission has always been to create a kinder, more connected world. NUC aligns perfectly with our belief that everyone can make an impact. Over the past two years our incredible community has raised over $17,000, donated more than 650 meals, created care packages, completed some insane awareness challenges (like1.74km of burpee broad jumps...) and inspired hundreds of people to choose kindness through action.

​

Why do you keep seeing 122?

Every IAMKIND challenge is built around the number 122, representing the 122,000 Australians experiencing homelessness. We transform a confronting statistic into meaningful community action. Our running goal of 1,424km represents one kilometre for every person experiencing homelessness in the City of Moreton Bay.

Our Challenges & How You Can Get Involved

At IAMKIND, we believe that every act of kindness matters. That's why we've created five different ways for our community to get involved in this year's Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge.

​

You don't need to do everything. In fact, we encourage you to choose what feels right for you. Whether you run a kilometre, cook a meal, donate a toy, bring along a sleeping bag, or simply join us for a burger, you're helping create real change for people experiencing homelessness in our community. Together, we're turning awareness into action and proving that Your Impact Matters.

1. PHYSICAL: 1,442km Community Run

Saturday 24 & Sunday 25 October | Brennan Park, Bribie Island

This is our biggest community challenge of the campaign! Over 48 hours, our goal is to collectively run 1,424 kilometres—representing the 1,424 people experiencing homelessness in the City of Moreton Bay. Whether you're an experienced runner, a casual jogger, or simply want to walk a few laps with family or friends, every kilometre counts.

 

Our 'course' starts and finishes at Brennan Park, Bribie Island, following a 12.2km loop with a 6.1km turnaround point at Bongaree. You can complete as much or as little of the course as you like. There is no minimum distance—your contribution is what matters.

 

How you can participate:​

• Walk, jog or run any distance to help us reach our community goal of 1,424km

• Register as an individual 

• Create your own team and collectively complete 122km over the weekend

​

Throughout the weekend, we'll have a large community whiteboard at Brennan Park where every participant's kilometres will be added to our cumulative total. Watching those numbers climb will be a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together for a common purpose. Whether you contribute 1km or 122km, you're helping us move one step closer to our goal.

​

2. KINDNESS: 122 Meals 

October 19th - 28th

Food is one of the most practical ways we can support people experiencing hardship. Throughout the challenge, our goal is to cook and donate 122 meals to the Caboolture Community Action Group (CCA), who provide support to people experiencing homelessness and vulnerable members of our community. You can cook one meal, ten meals, or challenge yourself to cook all 122. Every meal provides comfort, dignity and hope to someone who needs it.

Homelessness impacts entire families, including children. This year we're collecting 122 new or like-new toys to help bring joy, comfort and hope to young people in our community.
