The lads at FFS gym have organised a challenge for us members to between us raise €50,000 for the Irish Cancer Society. One hundred of us are each aiming to bring in €500 toward the overall goal.

Here's the painful bit - for me :)  Ij just under a week, on the 10th of December I'm taking on the challenge of completing 75 chin ups and 150 push ups within 30 minutes. A year ago I could do 3. Of each. So this is going to be tough, actually I can't believe I let Ciaran talk me into this. Erk.

So here's where you come in. Any donation you make will be gratefully received. And you get to turn my pain into support for the Irish Cancer Society and the amazing work they do for cancer suffers in Ireland.
