Burpees for Bravehearts.
Saturday 14th June from 7am we will be running Burpees for Bravehearts alongside our friend/CrossFitter and all round amazing human (Colin Noble) with the goal of raising $1000 for Bravehearts.
A bit of background from Colin:
Last year I was part of something much bigger than I imagined when I took part in the Bravehearts 777 Marathon.
Running 7 marathons, in 7 states over 7 consecutive days.
The physical aspect of the challenge, while daunting bore no significance on the immense sense of purpose running for a cause dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child sex abuse.
My personal fundraising tally was in excess of $17k with a group total of $750k!!
This year we want to hit $1million!!!
When I started doing triathlons and then onto 777, I missed tapping into the CrossFit community.
Here is a whole community so close to us who many will have been affected by child sex abuse and may not know all of the avenues of support available to them, their family or friends, through the amazing work Bravehearts do.
Here’s where I had an idea… Burpees for Bravehearts!!
Does exactly what it says on the tin!!
We would love to have as many people on board in raising as much money as possible for such a great cause. Participation donations of $10 directly to Bravehearts on the day. If you can’t participate your donation would still be greatly appreciated.
For Time:
Must be with a partner, teams of 3 or 4 to symbolize we are not alone when having to deal with child sex abuse.

Read below to get some statistics and additional inspiration to participate and donate.
Some statistics:
More than 1 in 4 Australians have experienced child sex abuse.
Among Australian children who have been sexaully abused, for more than 78% it happened more than once.
In up to 90% of child sex abuse cases, the offender is known to the child/family.
In more than half of cases the onset of child sex abuse is from 0-8 years.
Burpees can put you in a dark place, just as child sex abuse can.
Burpees hurt, but not as much as child sex abuse.
When you think you’re in a dark place doing burpees today, think of the unfortunate 1 in 4 who have experienced child sex abuse, then question if you are really in a dark place.
Let’s do this together!!!
Note: Bring your friends and family– the more the better!!!
