Lucy Anthony 50 Press Ups/100 days Challenge

By Lucy Anthony

I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Having lost my dad to Pancreatic cancer in August 2014 I know how quickly it can take precious loved ones. It is very tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. As with all cancers, the current situation has made diagnosis and treatment even harder, and those with Pancreatic Cancer in particular just don’t have the time to waste. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.

On 17th November 2020, Chris started a 100 press ups a day for 100 days challenge, and I decided to join him doing 50 press ups a day for 100 days on 22nd November. When Chris’ mum suggested we make it a sponsorship opportunity there was an obvious charity for me to support 💜 it’s just taken me a while to get the page set up 😉

Today, 19th December, I am 28 days in and still going strong so far 💪🏻👊🏻

If you can spare a few pennies I would really appreciate your support in order provide a little something to help those in the future that are touched by this beast 💜

My donations could fund...

118 hours with a nurse on our Support Line

or

52 hours of early diagnosis research

Happy Heavenly 80th birthday

Today would have been my dad’s 80th birthday so it seems fitting that my present to him is a donation that takes me over my final target 💜

90 days and 4,500 press-ups done, 500 to go 💪🏻👊🏻

Two Thirds of the way through

So I am now on day 68, with 3,400 press-ups done - wish I could say I’m on the downward straight, but with 1,600 still to do, it doesn’t quite feel like it yet 😋 👊🏻💪🏻

Halfway! 🥳

Halfway through today! So that’s 2,500 press-ups done and 2,500 to go 😬

Thought it would start to get easier, but it has actually gotten harder in the last couple of weeks - reckon that might be the extra Christmas weight 😬😋

New Year Press-ups 🥂

1st day of 2021 done and 2,050 press-ups done to date with 2,950 to go 💪🏻👊🏻 and only £155 now left to raise thanks to all my wonderful family, friends and work family 💜

Christmas Press-ups 🎄🎅

So managed it today, though should have taken Ricky’s advice as left 25 till after dinner 😬

Day 34 today so just over a third of the way through with 1,700 done and 3,300 to go! 💪🏻👊🏻

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🎄

Now £254 from my fifth target but determined to get there 💜

Completely blown away!

Thank you all so much for your generous donations!

I have such a fabulous family, friends and work  family, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Each of those press-ups will be that little bit easier now (though not a single one is actually getting any easier!)

I’m going to have to up my target for the 3rd time! 😬

Wishing you all a happy and healthy festive period for you and your families xx

Overwhelmed!

So after my initial target of £100 being smashed in the first day I upped it to £250 which was nearly smashed on day 2 but has now been blown out of the water today - thank you all so much for your generosity! 

I’m now upping it again 😬😍

Thank you to my Sponsors
