Burpees Monster 2021
Hi. I’m doing 100 burpees per day for 100 consecutive days again raising awareness and funds for the fight against Lymphoma Cancers.
This is the 5th year of this challenge. So far completed 40,000 burpees in the last 4 years and with your help raised $8,900 dollars for Lymphoma Australia.
Lymphoma cancers are diseases affecting the lymphatic system. The Lymphatic system has many functions including but not limited to; immune system response and maintaining body fluid levels.
There are approximately 6,900 Australians diagnosed with Lymphoma each year. It is the 3rd most common cancer in children. It is the most common cancer in 15-29 year olds.
Like most cancer Lymphoma can be fatal, early detection and treatment are vital.
Lymphoma symptoms include: night sweats, extreme itching, sudden weight loss, persistent cough, shortness of breath, enlarged lymph nodes that don’t go down.
I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when I was 13. I had no symptoms except an enlarged lymph node. I have been in remission since 2001. I had the node removed from my groin and radio therapy treatment. I was very lucky.
Take the time to think about Lymphoma cancers. Keep an eye out for the symptoms and check your lymph nodes.
This info is from Lymphoma Australia.
Lymphoma Australia provides education, support and specialist lymphoma nurses. These specialist nurses deliver an essential service to patients across Australia. If you would like to learn more visit;

At the conclusion of my challenge, all funds raised will be donated directly to Lymphoma Australia.
If i have to miss a day due to illness, I will pay $50 per day and also make up the days Burpees at the end of the challenge.
