My Squat Challenge for breast cancer research

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹: 𝗜’𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵.
Yes, you read that correctly. No, I’m not moving into an abandoned house — I’m just preparing to get low, drop it like it’s hot, and squat my way through the month of March.

Why?

𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 56 𝑨𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 9 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 56 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 — 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒚, 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒇𝒖𝒍 — 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎.

So, I’m taking on the National Breast Cancer Foundation Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world‑class breast cancer research.
Listen… I can squat alone, but I cannot raise these funds alone. My thighs are powerful, but they’re not that powerful.

I’ve got a fundraising target — but honestly, 𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 – 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲! They say ask and you shall receive, so here I am… asking, humbly, boldly, and with quads already trembling in anticipation.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Every donation — big or small — gets me closer to my goal and helps the National Breast Cancer Foundation continue their life‑changing work.

You can donate directly through this challenge page or the Facebook page — pick your portal of generosity and click away.

At the moment it’s just me and my thunder thighs, so if you’re feeling brave and up for the squatting challenge come be part of the Bootie for the Boobies crew. Drop me a message and I’ll shoot you the team code.

Your support, your donations, and your belief in my ability to repeatedly bend my knees… all deeply appreciated.

With love, laughter and light,
Your soon‑to‑be professional squatter Hiranthi

Thank you also to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for giving me the opportunity to take part in this incredible challenge. I’m deeply grateful to do my part alongside my generous community of donors to help raise vital funds for breast cancer research. It feels especially meaningful to have achieved this during a season of reflection and renewal. As long as there’s time left, I’ll keep squatting on to see if I can raise just a little more.

Sending love, Light, deep gratitude and the warmest virtual hugs, may blessings fall upon you all.

For Her, For You, For Us: An IWD Call to Action for Breast Cancer Research

I’m doing it in honour of the women we’ve had to say '𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻' to — the ones who left us with legacies of courage, love, and hope.  

I’m doing it for the women currently fighting, healing, enduring treatment with unimaginable strength.  

I’m doing it for women like you and me, praying that if we ever face that diagnosis, research has advanced so far that a cure is not a dream but a reality.

Today, on IWD, I’m $𝟮𝟴𝟯 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 from reaching my final fundraising goal for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. If you have a few dollars to spare, please click the link below or donate through this Facebook page.

Gratitude Over Lunch: Look What We’ve Achieved

Thursday 26th Feb

As I pause for a quick lunchtime breather, I’m reflecting on the impact we’re already making (yes, we — not just me).

Together, we’ve reached 4 out of the 6 impact levels, and I’m honestly blown away. Your generosity, your heart, your willingness to give generously — it’s the reason we can proudly call ourselves PINK CHAMPIONS. I could not have reached this milestone without every single one of you.

Now, let’s see if we can keep this energy flowing and push towards the 5th impact level. We’re just $279 away, and I’ve set myself the goal of reaching it by midnight this Saturday, 28 February (the final day of the month).

Every contribution is more than a number. It’s hope.

As I write this, 56 women in Australia will receive a breast cancer diagnosis today. Some will survive. Some may not. That’s the devastating truth, but it’s also why this challenge matters. By raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), we’re supporting research that saves lives: prevention, early detection, better treatments, and the pursuit of a cure.

Did you know?

Breast cancer death rates in Australia have dropped by more than 40%, largely because of research breakthroughs. That’s the power of collective action. The more we raise, the more we can push that number even higher and one day, hopefully, reach a world where breast cancer takes no lives at all.

So, who’s willing to dig a little deeper and help me close this gap?

To reach the final challenge level of PINK LEGEND, we need $779. I have the whole month of March to get there, but hitting the target early would be incredible and anything raised beyond $2,000 is a blessing that directly fuels life‑saving research.

Please like and share either my Facebook fundraising page or this Challenge Page — your engagement helps this message reach even more hearts.

My heartfelt thanks for standing with me and believing in this cause. What we’re achieving together is genuinely life‑changing. I start squatting this Sunday — 100 squats a day, adding up to 3,100 squats across March. I’ll share short weekly updates as we go.

Let’s keep going. Let’s keep donating.

With love, laughter and light,

Your soon‑to‑be professional squatter 💗🍒💗

Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much to all my beautiful and generous donors who has helped me raise $1,017 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Most of it came through within 24 hours of me joining the challenge, and I’m sending a big, heartfelt clap of gratitude straight to you all.

As promised earlier today (via blog), I’ll now be committing to 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆. I’m genuinely touched. I’m taking on this challenge for those who have walked the difficult road of breast cancer, those who are healing, those we’ve heartbreakingly had to say goodbye to, and those waiting for answers with hope in their chest.

Thank you again — yes, again — for helping me reach the PINK CHAMPION impact level.

Please, feel free to share my donation page with your networks and communities. This is bigger than a challenge, this is about saving lives. Maybe mine, perhaps yours, or a loved ones in the future.

Thank you for being part of this with me. Your kindness means more than you know.

Grateful Beyond Words: Together We’re Changing Lives

Tuesday 24th Feb
I’m honestly blown away — thank you to every single beautiful donor who has supported this journey so far. Together, we’ve raised an incredible $994 for this life‑changing cause, and my heart is so full.

If I reach my fundraising goal of $1000 before midnight tonight (24/11/26), I’ll increase my daily squat count to 100. So if you have a few dollars to spare, your support will help push this challenge over the line.

Thanks to all of you, I’ve already reached the third impact level — PINK HERO. With your help, I’m aiming for the next milestone: PINK CHAMPION, and yes, I’d love to climb all the way to the sixth level $2000. I can’t do that alone. Every donation, every share, every bit of encouragement fuels more research, more breakthroughs, and more hope for those affected by Breast Cancer.

Please like and share my fundraising page — your engagement helps this message reach even more hearts.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for standing with me. Together, we’re making a real and powerful difference.
