Story

So, I’ve kept much of this quiet… though you may have noticed me doing a lot of burpees recently 👀

But why?

Well..

Dorset Mind 💙

This charity speaks directly to my heart, and to so many others. Mental health plays such a huge role in how we live our lives, and the impact a service like Mind has cannot be overstated.

Personally, I’ve struggled for a long time and having support means the world!

It’s like running a mental marathon every single day… and it’s exhausting... and I'm sure many out there feel the same.

Though through help of such services , you'll feel if not fully better , but knowing that your on the way to feeling you again

And you know..

I’m an open book.

I want to encourage people to speak out, to accept that it’s okay not to be okay, and to know that there is help out there.

And Dorset Mind does incredible work helping people reconnect with the real you

So… the absolutely bonkers challenge 💪

This challenge is about proving that even when something feels impossible, you can get through it one burpee at a time

So when ?

📍 19th of April 11.30am Sunday

📍 Bournemouth Town Centre(under the Dorset Mind gazebo fingers crossed!)

♦️Live streamed

♦️Buckets for donations

I’ll be taking on 2,000 BURPEES 👀😅

Yes , you heard... 10 seems terrifying but 2000 .... I've bath on stand by

The best part?

People can come along and join in whether that’s 1 burpee or 10. Being there in the heart of Bournemouth means we’re not just raising awareness…

we might also remind someone, at exactly the right moment, that they are not alone
