Adam’s six hour cross fit challenge

Hi everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to give this a read.

(Note: once the challenge is completed the total money raised will be donated 50/50 to Mind and OddBalls).

On the 29th April I will be carrying out a six hour fitness challenge. Every hour, for six hours, I will be carrying out a 1 MILE RUN, 50 PULL UPS, 50 PUSH PRESS,  50 DEADLIFTS, 50 BENCH PRESS, 50 SQUATS. 

I will be doing this in order to raise money and awareness for two fantastic organisations: Mind charity and The OddBalls foundation.

OddBalls is a charity that us at OBURFC work very closely with. If you’re not familIar with OddBalls, they’re a foundation that was set up with the aim to raise awareness and money to help reduce the number of deaths caused by testicular cancer. They do this through the sale of their clothing range, recognisably their pretty funky boxer shorts, hosting fund raising campaigns, having university ambassadors do public awareness talks and many other things. They really are doing some great things!

Mind offers information and advice to people with any degree of mental health concerns. I think we can all put our hands up and say that we’ve had our own struggles during this unprecedented time. The pandemic has caused the highest suicide rates in two decades, so now is a more important time than ever to address this pressing issue and just get people talking about mental health.

I’m also hoping that I can encourage more people to get active and get fit, as it is something that has really helped me get through these challenging times!

This is going to be an extremely challenging task and I’ll be carrying out over 70 hours of training, but it is something that I am extremely excited to be doing!

Thank you VERY much in advance for any donations you make, the gesture does not go unnoticed!

LOTS OF LOVE,

Adam x
