Burpees For Bushfires
Donation protected
The devastation caused by the Australian Bushfires is unprecedented and terrifying and our hearts are heavy for the affected communities, people, wildlife, firefighters, volunteers and the land.
From such a distance, it is hard to feel as though we are helping, but we want to do whatever we can to help.
As a gym, we will be completing the 1000-burpee challenge in honour of the incredible displays of selflessness, love and kindness by the thousands of people, many of whom are volunteers, fighting the fires and to support those affected by them.
We will be undertaking the challenge on Saturday 18th January at 9am in order to collect donations to support the incredible actions necessary to fight the fires. Those taking part will either complete the Burpees as individuals or work as a team to complete the massive workload. It will be challenging but coming together to face challenges as a community is exactly what we're here for!!
We will be splitting all funds raised evenly between the Australian Red Cross, The WWF and the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. We want to support both the people and the wildlife affected, so the final total will be split evenly.
We invite EVERYONE and ANYONE to come along and join the challenge for a donation. We will be sticking at a group pace to make sure no one gets left behind and we finish at the same time. However, you don't have to be a fitness enthusiast to get involved in our campaign!
Here are two other ways!
1. Wherever you are in the world, please dig deep and donate generously to help make a difference!! Every penny raised will help a huge amount and will make the world of difference.
2. Come down to FORM Leeds on Saturday morning to support your friends and family who are undertaking the challenge - Take pictures and share on social media with a donation link so your network can support as well. There will be a donations bucket too so any spare change
3. Get talking! Share information about the fires on social media and chat to your loved ones about it so we can raise awareness of the extent of damage - they will be inspired to help too.
Please help us raise £500 to go to these charities, we really appreciate your support!!!
