My target 340 Burpees

I'm fundraising for...

Three in four Australians will experience a mental health challenge by the time they turn 25. Orygen works with young people, their families and friends, to develop new, positive approaches to preventing and treating mental disorders.

It’s been a challenging year for us all, and most of us could probably use some help in bouncing back towards a more positive state of mind.

That’s why this October I'm joining the Burpee Bounce Back Challenge – I'll be helping my own mental health by increasing my physical activity, and helping others by fundraising for mental health research so that young Aussies whose mental health isn’t going great can bounce back too.

Please help me by giving whatever you can. The more people that know about Orygen, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

Bribery

Sunday 18th Oct
It's fair to say I'm not loving the burpees but they *are* getting easier and the more I do the better the bribes... Thanks again for donating - along with this caramel slice it's excellent motivation! 

Argh! Almost time to start.

Thank you so much to everyone for helping me almost reach my target before I've even started! And massive thanks to my little sister Hannah (aka The Running Planner instagram.com/therunningplanner/) for her instructional video on how I can do these and not die in the process (twitter.com/magenta_simmons/status/1315482082693373953?s=20.). I am opting for the downward dog/plank/jump combo. Wish me luck! 

Getting prepared!

Friday 25th Sep
With just over a fortnight to go before I have to get serious about daily burpees I am ditching my dressing gown (my 2020 uniform) and popping on my mid-life crisis customised trainers... if you've got any tips for motivational music or injury prevention let me know! Thought I better practice these torture jumps in advance... 

Thank you to my Sponsors
