100 Push-Ups a Day in January 2025

January 20th

Update on the press ups challenge. Made it to 26 on Friday but then had some pain in my shoulder so have rested it. Hope to ‘press on’ later this week.

And a big thank you to those who have sponsored me for the amazing charity - that literally saved the lives of my 4 sons

January 14th

So yesterday actually made it to 25 push ups in a single session. Surprised myself. Need to keep pushing but honestly now further on than I expected to get to by the end of the month.

Oh and nice t-shirt arrived!

January 9th

So yesterday I reached the magnificent heights of 20 press ups! 
Just about to go and see if I can push this on again!
And yes my shoulders hurt....

January 4th

We’ll have now managed a whole 14 press ups today - a solid increase from 8 just 3 days ago. Moving forward!

January 1st

So I’m doing this a little different (surprise surprise!).
I haven’t done a press up since possibly school - so I’m aiming to get as close to 100 as I can by the end of the month.
Today I managed 8 - so a way to go.
I’ll keep you informed of progress!

I’m doing 100 push-ups a day in January for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to do 100 push-ups a day this January to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every push-up I do, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
