Tomorrow is the big day!

I’m prepared for my 50 squat challenge starting tomorrow 1st November. I have been practicing and am confident that I will smash it!

Why do squats?

So, as I can’t walk very far (a major back operation is on the horizon) I thought Why not squats? I can do these at home and in all weathers - so important in a British winter! My back seems happy with them and I’m building up to be able to do 50 a day on 1st November. Great Ormond Street Hospital is for children and does fantastic work so it’s a win-win!

I’m doing 50 Squats a Day in November for GOSH Charity! 

I’m challenging myself to do 50 squats a day this November 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 squat 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.
