Thanks for visiting our Fundraising Page for the Fifty50 - 5,000 Push-up Challenge! You can sponsor Bonnie, Terry and Rick and leave a message by selecting the donate button above. It is said that anything that redistributes the Earth's mass will change the Earth's rotation - earthquakes, meteors, volcanic eruptions and push-ups. Wait, did that just read "push-ups"? Well, maybe not actually push-ups… unless we do a lot of them! How about 5,000 push-ups? While I don't actually believe that we'll be shifting the rotation of the earth, here's what we will be doing - raising money in support of two incredible children's orphanages - Hope Village in Indonesia and One Heart Foundation in Kenya. Bonnie, Terry and Rick (with a lot of help from our friends) will be raising donations by committing to doing 5,000 push-ups. Now, for those who know us… WE CANNOT do 5,000 push-ups on our own, but with the help of a bunch of super-fit friends and colleagues who are willing to help us reach that number. This push-up challenge is currently scheduled for the third week of April 2018, and the donations collected along the way will help transform the lives of these children in a very positive and sustainable way. Every little bit helps! Thanks for supporting our efforts in raising money for this cause!

An amazing effort by Team Gilead and the Hill family - Terry, Bonnie and Jordan. Setting the goal at 5,000 push-ups, and delivering an amazing 8,381 push-ups in 30 minutes. Everybody who was there on the day should be very proud of what we have achieved together as a team. We're also very appreciative of those who could not attend, but very generously donated to this great cause, supporting the children of Hope Village and OneHeart! Team Gilead found the presentations by the Hill family very inspiring, and when you join two passionate organisations together, great things happen, 8,381 of them! Our total donations is just under $7,000 at the moment, with the hope that more will be able to donate once they hear of this incredible feat! To all our donators thus far, myself, the Hill family, and the children of both Hope Village and OneHeart are so very appreciative, thank you!

We're very excited that the day of our push-up challenge is finally arriving (Friday, 20th April)... we now have close to 35 people who will be participating in either doing push-ups, recording push-up numbers, or cheering us all on! Thank you in advance for everyone stepping up, or should I say... pushing-up to the challenge... I'm so excited to see what we will achieve tomorrow! Stay tuned!!!

Captain Rick - I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you again to yourself and your wonderful Team at Gilead for their efforts and generosity. Not to steal your thunder (!!) but I thought your idea was great that we cap the raising off at $8,381 to match the number of push-ups that we pushed-out: 8,381 !! Again, an incredible effort by Team Gilead - please remind them they are all welcome to visit Hope Village any time, to see what their generosity is going towards. Lots of Love, Bon XXX

Mr T, your performance on the day was nothing less than stellar, and although I think that Bon and I still won our little side bet, I just can't be sure, so thought I'd best settle this once and for all :) 545 push-ups is truly amazing, as are you! Thank you for your inspiration and helping to move this along... it's all about the children.
