As the weekend approaches, Off The Street On Our Feet (OTSOOF) is preparing to make a significant impact at the upcoming Chinny Charge event in Mullumbimby. Last Sunday, the team displayed its unwavering commitment to combating homelessness during its third running event in Coffs Harbour. A team of eight dedicated OTSOOF runners participated in various races, ranging from 5km to a gruelling 36km, showcasing their determination to make a difference.
Founder and visionary of OTSOOF, and a former rough sleeper himself, Mat Broster expressed his enthusiasm about their recent event, stating, "What a weekend that was. We literally camped just 30 metres from the finish line. Having some of us lay next to our tent as the rest of us finished the longer runs was so surreal but utterly amazing."
Chinny Charge
OTSOOF's primary objective is to support individuals experiencing homelessness and to shed light on this issue within the community. The organisation is now eagerly looking forward to the Chinny Charge scheduled for this Saturday, where they plan to make a meaningful contribution to their local community. Their mission is to lead the way in addressing homelessness and encourage more rough sleepers to join their weekly runs.
