Last year (2019) was a record high number of suicide deaths resulting from mental health disorders. Unfortunately, I think it’s only inevitable that this year will be a year like no other

..

Now, more than ever before, people are struggling. Each and every day is getting harder and harder. Due to the current restrictions in place, many people have now lost even the simplest of help methods such as social interaction, seeing friends and family and now also exercise methods such as gyms

..

I want to do my part to help in any way that I can. I have battled, and continue to battle mental health disorders and I know that so many others do on a daily basis

..

In the year 2019, an average of 15 people per day committed suicide due to mental ill health, with over 90% of those deaths being considered ‘preventable’. Us ourselves can do a huge amount to help those in need but without the support networks in place that are provided by organisations such as Mind, this number would be substantially higher

..

Starting tomorrow, every single day we continue to be in lockdown I will perform 15 burpees to represent each individual who took their life last year on that exact day. I am reaching out and asking that anyone who would like to join in with this challenge, or would simply like to donate towards this fantastic cause, if you are in a financial position to do so, please donate. Every pound will go a long way to helping so many, and if we can save just 1 life with our efforts and generosity, then this will all have been worth it

..

As an added incentive to join in, whoever completes their 15 burpees in the craziest and best of locations will win 4 FREE PT sessions and a 4 week training program, a prize worth over £150!!

Simply record yourself, post it on your story or in an actual post and tag me on social media and I will make my judgement the day lockdown is lifted! In supermarkets, on parks, on top of cars, in the sea, get creative and lets do our bit to make a change💪🏼

..

Thank you in advance and i hope you and your families continue to stay safe and well during these difficult times
