Push for Prostate Cancer

I'm doing 739 push-ups for Blue September. Show your support

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge to support men, Brothers, Dads, Uncles, Grandpas out there and help bring down prostate cancer.

Here's the gameplan:

I smash out 739 push-ups  throughout the month to inspire you to dig deep towards life-saving research and support.

Why 739? because on average, 739 men lose their life to prostate cancer in NZ each year. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ.

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now.

Your support helps provide support for people affected by a diagnosis. 

Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more men know to get tested when they need to, along with research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer.

Friday 26th Sep

This week I cracked the 739 target....But had to keep going...

Now at 899 over the month. 

It's the weekend and I'm supposed to be on holiday but I guess I have to aim for over 1000, right? 🤔 

Mid-month push up-date 😉

Tuesday 16th Sep

As of today the total is 592 push ups so far this month 💪 

Slack off for a while or keep going at this rate 🤔 ⚖️ 🤷‍♂️

Week 2 Mid-week

Nearing the end of week 1

Friday 5th Sep

Day 3: 0 (rest). 

Day 4: 56 (ok 🤔).

Might be feeling a bit sore tomorrow. 

The question is: Keep pushing or have a rest day? 🤔 

Off to a strong start
