Followmefit Boot Campers have a longstanding tradition of participating in October challenges to increase breast cancer awareness. It is nothing new for us to challenge ourselves to do something hard in honor or memory of the Pink Warriors in our life. This year is no different!
We are hosting a Pink Push Up Challenge. Won’t you join us?
Why push ups? Because it’s one of the hardest exercises for a breast cancer survivor to accomplish. It takes a lot of work to regain strength and flexibility in the upper body in order to perform a push up. In honor or memory of their battle, we are going to push up for breast cancer awareness!
Why $31 and 310? It’s simple math. There are 31 days in October. This challenge is basically a dollar and 10 push ups a day.
Who can participate? Anyone that wants to join us is welcome!
What if I hate push ups or can’t do them? You can still donate to the fundraiser and sponsor the rest of us. It will encourage us to do some extra push ups and get in as many as we can this month. I will also accept modified push ups. See below.
Here are the details:
- Register here to make your commitment official
- Entry Fee: $31 minimum donation given directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation https://fundraise.nbcf.org/followmefit . The organization will send an email to the address you provide “in honor” or to a family member ‘”in memory” of your Pink Warrior. Feel free to split your donation in order to honor more than one Warrior.
- Do a minimum of 310 push ups anytime during the 31 days of October. Feel free to push yourself to get as many as you can. We will keep a running record and celebrate each and every one!!
- Push ups may be modified to fit your fitness level. Kitchen countertop push ups, dining room table push ups, back of couch push ups, bleacher or bench push ups, push ups on your knees or toes in the floor, or even wall push ups count!! Just make sure you are challenging yourself to do your hardest level.
- You’ll report your push ups to me to give you that extra layer of accountability to finish.
- All those completing the challenge will get full bragging rights and social media mentions and a warm heart knowing you did your best for the honor or memory of your Pink Warrior.
Together we can do more to raise awareness, educate, and encourage early detection. Your donations will help women at every stage of the breast cancer journey.
P.S. On Wednesdays we wear pink!!!
