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. 

If I get to my $600 goal before September 1, I will double my push-up goal to 2000.

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.

My Impact

Last day to go for support!

Tuesday 30th Sep

This is it, the last chance to hit my new fundraising goal of $1500. I have raised my push-up goal from 1000 to 3000 and I'm almost there too. Any donors made today go into a special Bunnings gift card.Thanks to everyone who has supported this effort during Blue September. Make sure you talk to the men in your life about this important health issue.Cheers,Ric

Join me on the last week of effort to boost awareness and funds

Wednesday 24th Sep

I have reset my goal to $ 1,500 and will aim for 3,000 push-ups in this last week. Napa has added bonus support to new donations, doubling your money! Donate $25 and it turns into $50! Help me smash my new goals.

Pushed up through my $1000 goal

Monday 15th Sep

While I am happy to have hit this milestone, the same night I heard that  another friend has been diagnosed.

Please help spread the word and get tested, or talked to the men in your life about it.

Thanks for your support.

Smashed my original 1000 pushup goal

Thursday 11th Sep

I'm now heading for 2000 pushuos! Hoping to bust through the $1000 fundraising ceiling.

What an amazing level of support for this cause!

Thursday 4th Sep

I'm almost at $1000, and if I can get over this goal, I will bump both of my targets up another 500 each. ;-)

Smashed my goal today with super support from friends. As promised I have updated my goals, shooting for $1000 and 2000 pushups now!

Sunday 31st Aug

About to start the real Blue September - should I hit my $600 goal in the next few days (just $171 short), I will double my pushup goals to 2000.
