5000 burpees for Cystic Fibrosis

On Saturday 16th February, I'll attempt to complete 5,000 burpees in 15 hrs to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis, known as CF, is a genetic condition affecting ~10,000 people in the UK. 

CF is a condition very close to my heart and the need to raise money has never been so important to fund research and make life changing new treatments available. It's due to the cost that some of these treatments are sadly only currently viable to a select few in the UK.

All the money raised will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. It's through such fund-raising that the CF trust can promote excellence in research and clinical care, as well as providing practical support and advise to people with CF and their families.

So lets talk about the challenge...

Now everyone knows how much burpees suck but to put 5,000 into perspective, I'll aim to complete 7 burpees a minute. At that rate it will take 12 hours to complete 5,000 burpees... without factoring in any breaks.

The event will take place at Crossfit Cardiff so please come down to cheer me on, donate some money and even complete a few burpees with me if you're brave enough. Or just come give me a hug.

Any and all donations you can give will be greatly appreciated and make each rep a little less painful. 

Much love,
Hamish.
