Nedd Brockmann Raises $2.7M in 1600km Run

Nedd Brockmann, an Australian ultra-marathon runner, completed a grueling 1,600km run in just over 12 days to raise over $2.7 million for the homelessness charity We Are Mobilise. Despite not breaking the world record of running the distance in 10 days due to injuries, Brockmann's effort was celebrated by public figures like Dylan Alcott. During the run, Brockmann faced severe injuries, including tendinitis and swollen feet, forcing him to alternate between walking and running. His journey was followed by thousands both in-person at Sydney Olympic Park and via live streams, highlighting the physical and emotional toll it took on him. The event not only raised substantial funds but also drew significant attention to the cause of homelessness in Australia. Brockmann's perseverance and dedication were widely praised, despite the immense challenges he faced.
