Target: £200
raised £438 since 2021
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

I can think of few things worse than having a terminal disease or a mental illness that takes away your freedom or ability to live your life how you want and also inhibits your ability to be there for, and support, your loved ones.

With Xmas approaching I can't get rid of the santa beard. However I can get MOving, which is what I'm doing to support this cause.

This year, after last year's savage 10k Burpees, I'll be attempting to row 200k through the month. I don't row or particularly do cardio, so this should be fairly tough.

I've no clue why I keep saying yes to these things. But let's not pick at that thread!

Give us some cash so its worth it. A quid is all I ask. However, If we can get to 200 quid before half way through the month, I'll add some distance on. Cause why not!

Business Mos, the end is in sight!

For those that braved the shave 24 days ago, the stubble is coming back to you now. On your top lip at least.

You. Look. Good.

Now’s the time to dig deep, dig in and commit to Mo. Remember the men you’re doing it for and get those final donations in.

You're Mo legends.

Well, it's all over. Quite the ridiculous thing to do, all in all.

A mental challenge as well as a physical one for sure. Putting the big numbers in each day was mentally laborious, as well as a few intense choices of how to approach.

Particularly proud of the 1k in a day, 50 Burpees every 30 mins for 10 hours. Whilst I didn't manage it without a gap, albeit only 2.5 mins ish, the 2 sets of 400 where insanely rewarding and brutal.

233 Week(s) Ago

50 Burpees every 30 minutes today. Goal was to just hit my 500 daily target.

I then realised if I got to 850 it would give me a round 1500 left. Felt like a challenge and a good place to be. So, had at it, got it. Nice.

My partner then asked if I was going for 1000.... Seemed really daft not too. So 10 hours, all in, later... We have 1,000 Burpees in one day.

Brutal? Yes. Worth it? Probably not.

BUT, think of the glory!


No one cares.

ANYWAY, reckon I only have 3 days of work left now and this is done. I am so happy I may cry.

Hey Business Mos!

DID YOU KNOW, Mo Bros & Mo Sisters who use Facebook Fundraising raise 180% more funds?

You can activate it on your page in 3 clicks and all funds raised through Facebook will appear on your Mo Space. Check out the video below...

2/3 of the way there now, feels like it's in the bag .... however complacency can be a killer in a big challenge like this.

Keeping the tracking going for accountability has been key to keeping me on track. Plus all the folks watching me complete sets on the floor at work next to my incredibly patient boss, who already weathers a lot!

Managed to drop a tiny bit of weight I put back on too, not bad for sinking a Chinese 2 nights in a row....

Note: As donations can be made privately, not all donations are displayed to the public.
