Intro

This November I'm doing 3,000 push-ups, 100 a day for 30 days, to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Why this challenge? I'll be honest: I'm not in my best shape, and I wanted to get back into it. I saw this challenge and I liked the idea it would also mean something.

Why Teenage Cancer Trust? Cancer has affected people close to me, and when I looked into this charity, it stood out. Every day in the UK, seven young people aged 13–24 are told they have cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust funds specialist units and nurses in NHS hospitals, so young people are treated in places designed for their age, not on a children's ward or next to someone three times older. They also support the emotional side, which at that age can be the hardest part to cope with.

The goal: £500. If you can donate, thank you. Every amount helps. If you can't, sharing the page helps just as much.

I'll be posting updates throughout the month, so follow along and keep me honest.

Thank you!
