3,000 Push Ups in November 2026

I'm doing 3,000 Push Ups in November for Teenage Cancer Trust

This November, I'm doing 3,000 Push Ups and raising funds to help ensure no young person faces cancer alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity who provides specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. I'd be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you!

Day 4 Burn baby, burn 🔥

Wednesday 4th Nov
Day 4 - 100 press ups each day, the shoulders are burning but getting stronger.  Every day I wake I wonder why I’m doing this and I remind myself of the cause we’re fundraising for.  

Many years ago my brother Michael fell from a height and later developed Hodgkins Disease, a form of cancer that is now treatable, and died at the age of 10.  Had there been the fundraising, developments and care there is today he may still be alive.  

Our team is building, slow and steady, a really nice sum of money that will make a great difference to the work that the Teenage Cancer Trust does.  The individual achievement will be one that will make a difference to my health, strength and wellbeing.  Win, win!!!  

Last year I couldn’t do 5 press ups, joining the team at DHPT has given me confidence and inspired me to do things I couldn’t do or did at a much younger age.   

Let’s do our best for the Teenage Cancer Trust through our fundraising and hopefully give a young person the opportunity to live a little longer and stronger with your support.  Please donate as little or as much as you can.  

🙏 

Thank you ☺️
