The Month in Review: October
The October Finish Line!
Nedd’s Record Run
It’s hard to describe just how big of an achievement you can fit into 47 days.
You didn’t miss it but as a reminder, Nedd Brockmann ran from Cottesloe Beach WA to Bondi Beach NSW. Putting his body on the line and calling for the nation's attention and pointing it to a cause he believes in so passionately. Nedd has not only completed the journey of a lifetime but has raised over 2.2 million dollars that will amplify the work We Are Mobilise are doing to care for those experiencing homelessness in Australia.
In addition to creating awareness, he has encouraged action, something that is incredibly important to us at Merton Lawyers. It has been an honour to formally partner with Nedd’s Record Run and watch his resilience and sheer determination not only during the 47 gruelling days but for the many months leading up to that finish line.
Nedd has shown us all what is physically and mentally possible, but more importantly, helped us as a nation realise what can be achieved when we work together.
