10 pull-ups a day in Aug 2026

My Story
Hi friends! I’m taking on the 310 Pull-Ups Challenge this August to help raise money for Cancer Research UK. It's also when I'll be at the Edinburgh Fringe and I'm sure that's gonna be fine. After watching Terminator 2 with my Dad at Christmas and seeing Sarah Connor do a bunch, my New Year's resolution was to be able to do one pull up. Now, for some reason, I've signed up to do 310 in a month... My best right now is 1 at a time overhand grip, 2 neutral grip or 3 chin ups, so 10 pull-ups a day will be tough. I'm going for overhand grip but I reserve the right to change to neutral grip, with bands or chin-ups for some if I need to. The fundraising pack says adjust and find what works for you! I'll keep a record and keep you updated. Please show your support and help fund life-saving cancer research by donating to my page. This is bonkers - did you know, more than 8 in 10 people who receive cancer drugs in the UK receive a drug developed by or with Cancer Research UK? Like the drugs that have helped many people in my family. I'm so grateful. Thanks everyone for your support. Wish me luck on this hubris challenge. Chelsea xx
