April 100 exercise challenge by Nina and Lucas

By Malin Farnsworth

Donate to Malin and help them hit their goal of £500!

Nina and Lucas are fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

We are Nina (12) and Lucas (10) and we are raising money for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

Our friend Tracy has a terrible disease called pancreatic cancer. Tracy is afraid of needles and allergic to doctors but she is being incredibly brave . She has had a big operation with a super surgeon who cut out the cancer from her tummy and she is now having treatment with chemotherapy medicines. Some days Tracy feels really tired and weak but she still always finds time to ask how we are doing or give us a hug when we see her. 

Pancreatic Cancer UK is a charity that helps people who are living with this terrible disease. They offer information and support and  they also help to pay for research so that doctors and scientists can try to find better treatments or even a way to eradicate this cancer.

We are committing to a challenge and hope that you will support by donating money to Pancreatic Cancer UK that can help people that find themselves in Tracy’s situation. You can donate money through the online link or through our collection tin.

We are going to do 100 exercises per day for the month of April. Because we are still growing we are going to mix up the exercises from day to day picking from the list below:

100 lengths swimming

100 sit ups 

100 seconds wall handstand

100 seconds plank

100 push ups

100 star jumps

100 mountain climber exercises

100 ski jumps 

100 seconds wall sit

100x100m cycling

100 abdominal twists

100 x XXM running

The training is paying off in terms of fitness

Nina completed her first triathlon competition today  and loved it. 

Keeping active

We may be in May now but the fundraising page remains open and we are not slowing down just yet! 
Nina secured a good 2nd place at a duathlon race today ( photos below )  in preparation for next weekend’s triathlon race ❤️
We also fitted in three Fotball matches, a long bicycle ride, wakeboarding, swimming and rugby this weekend.....

Thank you!

Thank you so much for supporting our friend Tracy.


All together we have raised close to £10 000, way more than we could ever have imagined!


We hope that this donation can play a part in helping people who are living with pancreatic cancer and support research in the hope that we can find ways to prevent and eradicate this terrible disease.


We have really enjoyed the challenges and although we are now in the month of May the website remains active and so will we ;-)


Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.


With love from Nina and Lucas 

Day 33 Last day of our challenge

Nina ended where they started with doing  100 laps of the 25m swimming pool whilst Lucas played tennis and finished off with 100seconds of the plank!

Day 32

Box jumps x100

Day 31

Relay sprints combined with some treadmill running today

Day 30

100x100m on the rowing machine 

Day 29

Handstands and  the plank today!

Day 28

100 sit ups today

Day 27

More swimming ....

Day 26

100 lengths swimming today 

Day 25

Rowing session for Nina ( but no picture obtained )  and finishing off with the plank 

Day 24

Cycling today, 100m x 200 = 20km cycling in a beautiful Richmond Park!
This was the second most favourite part of the challenge so far with going in to the 1 degree sea water in Sweden being the favourite and swimming 100 lengths of the pool in third place 

Day 23

Tennis today! 100 min tennis, 100 ball rally , 100 point games !

Day 22

Lunges today!
x100 of course

Day 21

After trampolining , swimming, a couple of cricket sessions , school and homework, time was running out and we opted for an  easier challenge today with wall sits. x100

Day 20

A day of running challenge . After an early swim session and two  athletics sessions (during and after school) Nina also did an evening  running event with her triathlon club . Lucas took on his running challenge at the  gym !

Day 19

More swimming x100 lenghts!

Day 18

Abdominal crunches x100 day today 

Day 17

100 frog jumps onto a box!

Day 16

Today's challenge was probably first and foremost about managing nerves x100! Lucas at a rugby tournament and Nina did a  duathlon relay competition  at the London Aquatic centre, a pre event to professional super tri world championships.  The  team did brilliantly, the only all girls team competing ;-)

Day 15

100 pushups by the beach ( on rugby tour)

Day 14

100M x100 of cycling and we lost count of how many x 100M running sprints we did. 

Day 13

100 pulls on the strange gym machine  and 100Mx4 x5 sprints on the curved treadmill today

Day 12

100 seconds Upside down!

Day 11

A mix of exercises today !
100 sit ups, 100s plank

Day 10

Wall sits x100s Just before getting on the flight

Day 9 5km run around the lake

The snow has vanished and the rain has settled, a healthy start to the morning with a 100m x 50 =  5km run around the local lake.

Day 8 100 seconds of hanging bar and 100 seconds of plank

We did 100 seconds of hanging bar together and later on we did 100 seconds of the plank whilst watching a comedy. Keeping the plank position up whilst laughing at the same time was hard! 

Day 7 Mountain climber exercises

Having spent 4 hrs in a swimming pool  today we opted for one of the  easier physical challenges on the menu. 100 mountain climber exercises at speed.

Day 6 Braving the Weather with an 8Km run!

Today's challenge was to brave the  unusual April weather and do a run. The planned 50x100m ( 5km)   around the local lake  became an 8km run instead ( 80x100M) as we took a wrong turn.... 
We had some solid recruits join us today, Anna and William.

Day 5 100 sit ups today !

Heavy snowfall outside so for an indoor challenge today 

Day 4 Off piste challenge today!

100 seconds in the 1 Degree Celsius Swedish Seawater!
Refreshing!

Day 3 Star jumps, frogs and a walk around the local lake !

We walked 50x100m ( 5km) and  did our star jumps  ( called "X hopp" in Swedish) by the local lake. We should maybe have done frog jumps instead because we found lots of big frogs in various streams along the way. 

Day 2 A few sets of 100sec wall sits today just before heading to the airport!

Easy  challenge today but a bit boring sitting still! 
Mummy took part but we didn't get a photo.

Day 1 Kickstart! 2.5km swim each ( 100 lengths or the pool)

Spurred on by the most incredible response and all your kind generous donations we were eager to start before April 1st so we kickstarted the challenge early today (7 am Good Friday) with 100 lengths of swimming each , 100x25m = 2.5 km each so 5km swimming in total . Mummy is now making us pancakes for breakfast! 

Thank you!!!

We are extremely grateful for everyone's kind support and donations. Absolutely amazing !  We are getting ready and excited about starting the April challenge ! Our mum will be joining us too!
