30 UNBROKEN CHALLENGE
Ordinary people TAKING ON AN extraordinary test
Talk2MeBro is partnering with the Terry Campese Foundation for their Unbroken Challenge in Newcastle and Wollongong.
This is a fundraising event concept inspired by Special Forces selection that combines personal development for adults with powerful causes around Australia. Led by an elite team of ex-military professionals, recruits endure a demanding series of physical and psychological activities across two days.
Before the event begins, every recruit competes to raise as much sponsorship as possible. Participants fundraise and train over five months in the lead up to the final 30-hour challenge weekend.
EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Put your hand up
Express interest or get nominated by someone who knows you've got more in you. After an information night where you'll learn exactly what you're signing up for, the final 30 recruits are selected.
2. Become a recruit
Induction day makes it official. You'll have your recruit headshot taken, collect your 30 Unbroken kit and pick up the fundraising tips that will set you up for the months ahead.
3. Train, raise money and build connections
Launch day kicks off free weekly training alongside your fellow recruits - building fitness and the bonds you'll lean on later. At the same time, the fundraising leaderboard goes live, and you get creative to raise as much as you can.
4. Take on challenge weekend
Thirty hours, run by a military team, designed to test you and your fellow recruits physically and mentally. You'll face a range of activities that build teamwork, leadership, communication, resilience and self-worth.
5. Finish unbroken
The challenge ends with a celebration of everything you've achieved, as an individual and as a team. Awards are handed out and you get the chance to take it all in: how far you've come, what you've learned about yourself, and what you now know you're capable of.
Where Do The Funds Go?
Every dollar raised for Talk2MeBro goes straight back into your community. By fundraising through the 30 Unbroken Challenge, you're helping us:
- Expand our FREE mental health catch-ups to new communities across Australia
- Reach and provide real connection for men and women in regional, rural and underserved communities
- Break the silence around suicide and mental health where it matters most
- Fund the grassroots, face-to-face work that creates real ripple effects
Who should sign up?
Stop wondering what you're capable of and find out: 30 Unbroken is the ultimate challenge for everyday people who want a taste of something more, and the growth that only comes from being genuinely tested.
Everyone has their reason: Some recruits sign up to finally commit to getting fitter. Some want to give back to their community, meet new people or push themselves mentally. Whatever brings you in, you'll leave with more than you came for.
Everyone is welcome: Recruits have typically ranged from 20 to 65 years old and come with every level of fitness and ability.
