My 58 Squat Challenge for breast cancer research

58 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer today and a further 9 will die. I want to make a difference to the lives of those 58 Australians impacted by the disease - that is why I am taking on the 58 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research. But I need your help.

Please support my squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get me closer to reaching my goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.

Day 31

Monday 31st Mar
Today is the last day of the 58 squat challenge raising money for Breast Cancer Research and awareness. We have been in many different locations, had some awesome fun and lots of laughs. Thankyou for your encouragement and your generous donations. We have raised $2880 and squatted 1798 times. Maybe next year I can get a team together and we can raise ten times as much. The End Helen

Day 30

Sunday 30th Mar
Well one more to go and I think it will be hard to top todays effort. 65 squats for my 65th birthday, with a nice paramedic to support me who is raising money for Cancer research into cure.Β  What a backdrop, Rescue helicopter in one of the biggest hangers i have ever been in. Thankyou Ella for supporting me throughout the week and thankyou to the venues for allowing me to squat at your front entrances.Β 

Day 28

Friday 28th Mar
Today I stayed at home at filmed myself for a change. I cannot get over the generosity of people, whom I can proudly call friends. Their commitment to follow me on the 31 day squat challenge has been Β a commitment in itself. We have raised over $2553 for Breast Cancer Research. That is truly amazing!Β 

Life is grand

Wednesday 26th Mar
Day 26 and we are now up to $2424.00, the generosity of people is overwhelming. I cannot tell you all how proud I am to call you my friends/colleagues and lastly family. Without your support and encouragement, I really don't think I would have been able to do this challenge. Not long to go until I'm done, but I think this has spurred me on to do other challenging things.Β 

Days 26

Wednesday 26th Mar
We have raised $2344 for Breast Cancer research.; what an achievement. Only five days left, I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. Thankyou to the anonymous donars for supporting me, you know who you are!Β 

Day 25

Tuesday 25th Mar
Hi all 25 days down and only 6 to go, unbelievable. Today we went to the CBar on the strand with the beautiful backdrop and the sea breeze it made the 58 squats ever so easy to do. On the home run now, the rest should be easy! Β 

Day 24

Monday 24th Mar
Well we did a dump run today and decided that the refuse tip was the place to squat. Another 58 squats done and dusted with the picturesque dump in the background.Β  It is so wet in Townsville and to top it all off there has been a land slide on castle hill, so goodness knows if Ill even get up there. We are well over the $2300 mark and people are still donating, thank you so much.Β 

Wow

Monday 24th Mar
Today is Day 24 of the 58 squat challenge and we are 31 on the leader board for an individual. This is an amazing achievement!
We have raised over $2300 now, which I never thought I would see. Thankyou to all and see you this arvo.Β 

Day 22

Sunday 23rd Mar
Hi Everyone
Today it is raining again, in Townsville but hopefully blue skies this arvo. I managed to do 60 squats yesterday, but I think I need to straighten up, bit sore this morning.Β  Hopefully a few more donations will come our way before the 31/3, we can only keep on going.Β 

Still Day 21

Friday 21st Mar
Well, the rain has stopped in Townsville, but I didn't get up Castle Hill today. Instead, we went to the rock wall at the break water, looking back at Townsville and the Entertainment Centre. Anyway, the boys helped me this afternoon, well if you could call it help or hindrance, not sure. I accidently marked Day 22 as done but that is incorrect, but it will be correct tomorrow.Β Β 

Day 21

Friday 21st Mar
Hi AllΒ 
Guess what! The sun is out in Townsville. Yay! Maybe Castle hill is my target for today’s 58 squat challenge. See you all later in the day!Β 

Day 20

Thursday 20th Mar
Hi everyoneΒ 
Well, I have made it to Townsville, and we have now raised over $2200, which is amazing. I will post me squats very soon from a location in Townsville. Thankyou again to those who have been following me on my squat journey, and to those who have donated to this worthwhile cause.Β 

Day 19

Wednesday 19th Mar
I cannot believe the generosity and support I am receiving from all of my herd. You are all amazing people, which I am proud to call you friends. I have completed 1044 squats which is 58% of the total for the month of March. We have also managed to raise $2134 which is truly an amazing effort.Β  See you all this afternoon in a new location.Β Β 

Day 16 and still going

Sunday 16th Mar
Today is the halfway benchmark with another 15 to go until complete.Β  We have more than reached our target with more people wanting to donate to this worthy cause. Every dollar we raise is a dollar closes to finding a cure for breast cancer. Thankyou again and see you This Arvo in a new location.Β 

We've done it

Saturday 15th Mar
We have raised the $2000, actually we have raised $2044 for Breast Cancer research. That is a mighty effort for a small collection of people. I will continue to squat, and maybe we can continue to total raised.Β 

We did it

Saturday 15th Mar
We have made it to $2000 done and dusted
Thankyou everyoneΒ 
I’ll continue to squat until the 31/3 and maybe we can raise more much needed funds for Cancer ResearchΒ 

Fridayyyyyy

Friday 14th Mar
Hi everyone its Friday, yay and I'm on holidays from work, not from the 58 per day squat challenge.

Thankyou

Tuesday 11th Mar
My friend and nurse colleague Jude helped to motivate me today, by participating in the squat challenge. Together we can make a difference. Still going strong and getting stronger

Day 10

Tuesday 11th Mar
Hi allΒ 
Didn’t do my blog yesterday so here’s a catch up. We have raised $1668 for Breast Cancer Research which I think is an amazing result for a small community of like minded peeps. I figure it’s had to keep doing the squats, but I think would be harder to battle Breast Cancer. So please give to this worth while cause. H

9 day and wet
