Fundraising
In October 2022, Brockmann completed a 3,952 km run from Perth’s Cottesloe Beach across the country to Sydney's Bondi Beach in 47 days. During this time he raised A$2.6 million for homelessness.
In July 2024, a documentary Nedd Brockmann: Runn was released showcasing his extraordinary mission to make a difference as he ran across Australia raising money for homelessness.
In October 2024, Brockmann completed a gruelling 1000 mile (1600 km) run over 12 days to raise money for a homelessness charity raising a total of A$3 million. He was attempting to break the world record set by Greek ultra runner Yiannis Kourous of just under 10 and a half days in 1988. Brockmann completed 3,760 laps of the track at Sydney Olympic Park in 12 days, 13 hours, 16 minutes, and 45 seconds.
Publications and speaking engagements
Brockmann has released two books. Through his running and fundraising missions he highlights the urgent crisis of homelessness which he regularly speaks about.
In October 2023 his first book Showing Up: Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable tells the story of a 23-year-old tradie who put his body ‘through hell and back 10 times’ to prove that anything is possible when you break past your own barriers.
In 2024 a second book Fire Up: Live Large, Do Tough Stuff and Give Back was released to share some of the lessons he has learned from the first twenty-five years of his life.
