I'M TAKING ON THE LIFT THE WEIGHT CHALLENGE

From 11–18 April, I’m committing to 8 exercises a day for 8 days to raise funds for suicide prevention. 

8 Australians lose their lives to suicide every day. I’m supporting R U OK? to help start meaningful conversations and encourage people to check in with those around them.

If you can, please donate and help me make a difference.

Day 8 of 8

Saturday 18th Apr
I rejoined Ange and crew at Anytime Fitness  Wyoming at 3am this morning and jumped back on the treadmill. I was able to continue through to 7.30am and added another 24km. I can't believe they hit the goal of 88km at about 4am, but still kpt going and will keep going until 12pm.

Day 7 of 8

Friday 17th Apr
Today was a bit different. Ange started her 24 hour / 88km treadmill walk along side some other teams relaying the 88km.  I joined the crew for a short stint and contributed 11km on the treadmill to the relay.
