Hi Everyone, my name is Daley Thompson and I am a firm believer that sport has the power to impact and bring about positive change to peoples lives.
Now is the perfect opportunity for the sporting community to do some good. I am a Laureus Academy Member and am involved with their Sport for Peace Humanitarian Action Fund. All the money that we raise through this challenge will go towards the fund to support the agencies on the ground who are helping the people affected by, and suffering as a result of, the crisis in Ukraine.
Do something fun and help me raise as much money as possible.
It is 1,500 miles from my gym to Kyiv, so I thought we should base all the challenges around this number. For example, you could do 15 lengths or 150 keepie uppies or cycle or walk for 1.5 hours - whatever you want. I will be challenging my good friend and former All Black Captain Sean Fitzpatrick to do 150 press ups in 15 minutes.
Get creative, get sponsored or just donate!
If sport is not your thing and you would still like to help, please take up the challenge and bake 15 cakes, dance, sing or walk, waddle, knit for an hour and a half or do absolutely anything to be part of this great cause.
