PUSH-UP CHALLENGE
**REGISTER NOW** (Click on "Start Fundraising") Everyone this year has their own Individual or Team page; Register Now!
#jointhepush is our message this year - share your shots along the way.
OUR MISSION: To have FUN and raise $33,640 over 21 days to share between two worthy charities.
Banter between competitors is mandatory on our Facebook & Instagram sites 
HOW: We challenge you to complete 1 PUSH UP for every kilometre of 'Le Tour de France' & get your FAMILY & FRIENDS to sponsor your journey with donations on your own personalised Tour de Pushup site! (Go to "Start Fundraising" to register your details BEFORE the event starts)
CAN I DO THAT MANY PUSH UPS? You can choose from 3 categories to match your ability for this event:
-
Alpha: 1 pushup (pu) per 1 km;
-
Bravo: 1 pu per 2 km;
-
Charlie: 1 pu per 3 km.
Stages 1-21, dates for completion & amount of push ups for the Alpha, Bravo or Charlie categories all shown at bottom of page or on Facebook site.
We'd love to have everyone doing the push ups, but sometimes we know this isn't possible. So, you can even subsitute push ups for squats, sit ups, push ups on your knees - whatever works for you - just ensure you let your sponsors know what you'll be doing for their donation.
REGISTER AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR TEAM? This year we have given you the choice. We encourage you to start a Family Team or Work Team, get fit & raise money from sponsors together, encouraging each other on the pushup challange. Alternatively register as an Individual to join in on the fun.
Top Teams & Top Individual donation tallys will be shown for all to see.
WHEN: Challenge starts 4th July to 26th July 2015
(21 days of push ups, 2 rest days)
WHY: To HELP others in need, GET FIT and have FUN doing it!
This year participants need to register yourself or your team to enter the event. You will be provided your own dedicated donation page to send out links on facebook or email to family & friends, making it easy for people to donate to your own tally.
> You will be able to track your own progress via your personal donation site
WHO ARE FUNDS GOING TO?
1. Cure Brain Cancer Foundation; the largest dedicated funder of brain cancer research in Australia
2. Starlight Children's Foundation; on a mission to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families.
Participants in the Tour de Pushup complete push ups each day to match the kilometres riden that day in the Tour de France (awesome!). You can choose to complete your push ups in any way, at any time of the day/night (eg. 140km = 140 push ups, you could do them all in the morning or night, sets of 10 reps, or do a few every hour throughout the day).
Why should FAMILY or FRIENDS donate on your site? Because you will be completing 3,364 pushups over 21 days! (refer to our facebook page for the push up schedules).
Once you're registered, ask your FAMILY & FRIENDS to donate generously!
Getting any amount to sponsor your challenge is awesome, but remember this: if they only give you 1 cent for every push up, that's still $33 from every sponsor! Every cent makes a difference.
