Nedd Brockmann

Nedd Brockmann is an Australian ultramarathon runner, motivational speaker, and philanthropist renowned for his extraordinary endurance feats and dedication to combating homelessness.

In 2020, Brockmann undertook the challenge of running 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days, raising nearly $100,000 for the Red Cross to support homeless individuals.

Two years later, in September 2022, he embarked on a monumental journey, running 3,952 kilometers from Cottesloe Beach in Perth, Australia to Bondi Beach in Sydney over the course of 47 days. This endeavor not only captured national attention but also raised approximately $2.6 million for the charity We Are Mobilise, significantly exceeding his initial $1 million target. "RUNN," a Netflix documentary, portrays Brockmann's extraordinary mission to make a difference.

Continuing his commitment, in October 2024, Brockmann attempted to break the world record for the fastest 1,000-mile run, completing the distance in 12 days, 13 hours, 16 minutes, and 45 seconds. Although he did not surpass the existing record, his effort raised an additional $3 million for homelessness charities.

Beyond his athletic achievements, Brockmann is an author and entrepreneur. In October 2023, he published his first book, "Showing Up: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable," detailing his journey and emphasizing resilience and perseverance. He also founded Nedd's Milk, a chocolate milk company that donates a portion of its profits to support homelessness initiatives.

Brockmann's relentless dedication and inspiring story have established him as a prominent figure in both the athletic and philanthropic communities, demonstrating the profound impact of perseverance and social responsibility.
