WORKOUT IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER 1 YEAR TODAY

31/03/24

A year ago today I lost my brother to suicide…suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 and the statistics that we lose someone every 40seconds to suicide is sad beyond words. The gym and Hyrox workouts have become my safe happy place and the people at the gym and in my life have got me and my family through the last 12 months without question. Cumbria Strength is more than just your average gym and it genuinely has the best environment and energy special quick mention to Matty & Vicky who own the gym - and of course Craig - these people have got me through some of the worst times and supported me when I wasn’t even a member and I hope tonight we do them both as well as Daz proud

I miss him so much, he was an absolute annoyance at times but was a guy who would give a person his last £1 and go without. I miss his laughter, his energy, his rubbish jokes, his eclectic choice of music (ABBA to Wigan Pier) I miss pointless phone calls that went off on a hundred tangents I just miss him but the loss of him spurs me on to change and to make a difference

We wanted to mark today in a positive way and to hopefully raise some money at the same time for our local Andy’s Man Clubs…I have created a Hyrox for Daz session with the support of Cumbria Strength & Conditioning alongside a live TikTok set from Conner Boyle - forever grateful for this support and for the strong amazing people in my life

The workout is in pairs because everybody needs somebody and it is based around the 40second statistic, whilst being named ‘Daz 35’ for the age he never got to

We would love it if you could make a donation, however small, to hit or exceed our small target in one day.

Our message is simple;

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER

TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE STATISTICS

EVERY STEP

EVERY REP

STRONGER

’You’ll never have to be alone’
