Help Me Make History: 100 HYROX Events in 100 Days for Chestnut Tree House


Let’s be honest—47 years of dodging gym memberships, choosing takeaways over treadmills, and cultivating a dangerously high level of “couch potato” doesn’t exactly scream fitness pro. But here I am, 4.5 stone lighter, ready to tackle not just one HYROX, but 100 HYROX events in 100 days to raise £10,000 for Chestnut Tree House, a local children’s hospice that does amazing work for families who need it most. Starting January 3rd, I’ll be sweating, sled-pushing, and (let’s face it) probably regretting every life choice, but it’s all for an incredible cause!


So, why 100 HYROX events? Why not just bake some charity cookies or do a 5K? Because this is about more than just raising money. It’s about showing that transformation is possible, even for a self-professed former couch champion like me. This journey from fat to fit in my forties has been a wild ride—15 months ago, I’d never set foot in a gym, and now I’m gearing up to take on 100 grueling HYROX events. I’ll even turn 49 at the finish line (because who doesn’t want to celebrate a birthday with burpees?).


What’s in it for you? A chance to support an amazing cause and watch me push the limits of midlife resilience and questionable decisions. Each day, I’ll be donating a toy to brighten the lives of the children at Chestnut Tree House. And, if you’re feeling brave, you’re welcome to join me for a HYROX or two! I’m throwing open the doors to anyone who wants to take part, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just want to see if I can make it through without a nap.


Your support will be the fuel that powers me through these 100 days of sweat, struggle, and sled pushes. Whether it’s through donations, joining the challenge, or cheering me on from the sidelines, every bit of encouragement will help me reach that £10,000 target. I promise laughs, plenty of dad jokes, and maybe even some inspiration along the way.


So, grab your coffee, skip a latte (for today!), and donate to help make a difference. Let’s show that even the unlikeliest of fitness journeys can have a massive impact.
