Story

Members of Origin Gym are going to undertake a 10km sandbag and ‘worm’ carry for Worldwide Radiology. For those of you who don’t know what the worm is, it’s a 120kg sandbag designed for four people to carry on their shoulders. We’re going to have two teams of between 6-8 people and they will be walking 5km carrying the worm as a team and 5km carrying sandbags equal to a weight of 120kg.

Normally when we have to carry these for 15 minute sessions we struggle and there are lots of complaints so 3-4 hours of carrying them will be unbelievably tough. Hopefully you’ll support us for such an amazing grass roots charity.

Worldwide radiology is an amazing charity that provides clinicians in resource restricted countries with vital imaging skills and knowledge to drive quality healthcare.
