St Ann’s supporters to compete in 24-hour CrossFit marathon to raise funds for hospice
Lisa Hillyard and five others will be competing in the challenge on Saturday, June 21
St Ann’s supporter Lisa Hillyard and a group of five others will be taking on a 24-hour AMRAP CrossFit marathon to raise funds for the hospice.
The marathon will be taking place on Saturday, June 21.
The marathon is a worldwide event with different teams competing. Every hour the team will be given an exercise and they will have 60 minutes to complete 500 reps.
“We won’t even know what exercises will be doing until the beginning of each hour,” Lisa said.
“So, to be able to stay in the competition we will have to persevere through every challenge.
It’ll be 24 hours of non-stop as we push through every rep, every lap. We are hoping to raise as much as we can for the families and patients who rely on the amazing compassionate care that St Ann’s provides Lisa Hillyard, St Ann's Hospice supporter
Lisa’s team will be seeing themselves complete workouts such as pull ups, box jumps, kettlebell swings, burpees, and much more.
St Ann’s Hospice relies heavily on donations from the public and needs to raise approximately £20,000 a day to keep the two hospice sites operational.
