Jump Rope Challenge
Sat 1 Jun 2024 - Sun 30 Jun 2024
I'm jumping rope, 100 jumps, every day in June.
My Story
This is partially self-serving. I've been meaning to try jump rope again for over a year, having not done it since childhood. I even got new shoes, a decent sports bra, and made sure there was enough clear patio space, but that was as far as I got. But now that I've said I'll do it to raise money for a cause that's personally very meaningful, well heck, you know I'm going to give it my best shot! 100 jumps a day doesn't sound like a lot for you fit and able folks, but if you know me and how much my life has changed in the past decade, it's genuinely going to be a challenge (but I'll make sure I'm doing it in a safe and manageable way, so no need to worry)! So I reckon trying to raise at least £5 a day is doable. Help a (bereaved) sister out! Cancer sucks.
