Push for Prostate Cancer

I'm doing push-ups this Blue September. Show your support, let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates.

Here's the gameplan:

I smash out heaps of push-ups throughout the month to inspire you to dig deep towards life-saving research and support.

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ.

Your support helps provide support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to, along with research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer.

Day Seven

Monday 8th Sep

Cranked out 100 today.  Its now becoming a bit of a habit.  I'll double the goal when I hit 739.  

Day Six

Sunday 7th Sep

Upped the sets again to 20 each.  Got 78 out.  Climbing each day.  Can definitely feel muscles in haven't felt for a while.  Now at 373/739

Day Five

Sunday 7th Sep

72 more today.  Upping each set to 15 to add an extra challenge

Day Four

Friday 5th Sep

Stared early today - 50 press-ups at 5am thinking i wanted a lazy evening.  Actually did a further 20 so record day!  Looks like i might make the goal early in which case I'll set a higher one

Day Three

Thursday 4th Sep

Another 50 down, but muscles are sore.  Even tried a few with a clap (thanks James).  Was surprised I got any but did!

Day Two

Wednesday 3rd Sep

Another 50 down.  Clearly gets a bit harder the second say - but feeling like I'll get there.  Already have a stretch goal set

Day One

Tuesday 2nd Sep

Unable to talk my kids into doing it with me... Apparently watching and critiquing my form is more up their alley.  5 sets of 10 before a normal workout.  Tried again afterward but fell flat after 3.  Not a bad start though

Tackle prostate cancer together.
