I am fundraising for Pancreatic Cancer UK.
Pancreatic cancer is tough to diagnose, tough to treat and tough to research. Please support me and help make a difference to pancreatic cancer.
I have lost 3 friends and former teammates to this cancer over the last 4 years.
I am going to attempt 100 sit ups a day for the next 24 days to try and raise money for research.
As I have not done any exercise for a while (and it’s at least 20 years since I regularly did any sit ups!), this is going to be a bit of a challenge!
My donations could fund...
13 hours with a nurse on our Support Line
or
6 hours of early diagnosis research

My Updates
Day 26
Well yesterday I did no sit ups for the first time in 24 days, but today I did a hundred, something I may keep doing.
Day 24!!
Last day, of the challenge, and 200 very sweaty and painful sit ups completed by 6am!!
Day 23
At work today, and as I knew it was going to be hot, 150 sit ups done and dusted by 6.10 am!!!
Day 22
You may have noticed that it’s quite hot today!
Day21
Really warm today, but still did 150 sit ups!
Day 20
As it was day 20 of 24 I thought I would mark the occasion by doing 150 instead of 100 sit ups, just for shits and giggles!
Day 19
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there!
Day 18
Lovely day today. Busy doing stuff, got home, halfway down the first beer and remembered that I had not done the sit ups, so a quick change and 100 sit ups done and now back to the beer!
Day 17
Completed after a hard days decorating!
Day 16
Late doing them again today (around 9 pm), but got through them eventually.
Day 15
Tried different variations of sit ups today (legs flat instead of knees bent!), discovered they were just as hard!
Day 14
Wow, two weeks into the 24 days, only 10 days left!
Day 13
At work today, so unable to do them until tea time.
Day 12
Done by teatime. Getting quicker every day, lactic acid isn’t going away though, so still painful to complete.
Day 10
70 without stopping again.
Day 9
Yesterday’s blog seems to have disappeared.70 without stopping!
Day 8
Late doing them again today, as I was at work all day.
Day 7
Finally getting less painful!
Day six
Still not getting easier, (though my form is getting much better).
Day 5
Still not getting any easier, perhaps slightly quicker though!
Day 4
Still not getting any easier, first 50 are ok, then grind to a halt, and have to work very hard to get through them.
Day three
At work today, then a zoom meeting, couple of beers, then I remembered o had 100 sit ups to do!
Day Two
Much harder than yesterday’s, lactic acid, I suppose.Thank you to my Sponsors
