WHAT happened july 2020:
JULY CHALLENGE 2020
So I finished up my July Challenge that I set for myself at the start of last month..
After a slight change of plans due to COVID restrictions - this morning I went about completing a 31km Run (relatively locally) to signify a few things:
*31 days of consecutive running where I teamed up with @beyondblueofficial to help raise funds and awareness towards anxiety, depression and suicide.
*31 days I was sober as I took part in @dryjuly and signed up to their campaign to help raise funds for those affected by cancer.
Over the past month I hoped to promote healthier habits in more ways than one both physically and mentally.
Although the fundraising challenges had personal goals.. the main reason was to obviously raise funds and awareness for these two great foundations. And for that I would like to thank everyone who contributed and donated to these important causes. I really appreciated the support along the way; every bit counts!
Results:
- Over $3100 raised across the two campaigns (with 4TITUDE Finance matching all donations).
- More than 245kms covered over the challenge (avg. approx 60kms a week)
- 7kgs+ lost during the month as well.
Looking forward to a well deserved beer (at home) later today. Cheers!
