Off The Street On Our Feet (OTSOOF) is preparing for the Chinny Charge this Saturday – they were at it again last Sunday in Coffs Harbour.
During our third running event, we had a team of eight OTSOOF runners in the 5km, 10km, 21km and even the 36km race. What a weekend that was! We literally camped 30 metres from the finish line. Apart from completing the Chinny Charge, we are looking to shine the light on homelessness by leading by example. We hope that more rough sleepers join our weekly runs.
For anyone interested in supporting Off The Street On Our Feet, we are now on social media, and are running with, and from, Fletcher Street Cottage in Byron Bay at 6.45am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are now training for the ‘Bridge to Brisbane’ on October 15, and are keen to have more runners.
Mathew Broster is an OTSOOF founder and a former rough sleeper.
