24HRS FOR A PURPOSE

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

Purpose Fitness started "24 hours for a Purpose" to help break the stigma around mental health and mental health issues.  

We wanted to create a safe space for our community to start conversations about what is going in their world.

To raise awareness we created the 24 hours for a Purpose event / workout

The workout is performed every 3 hours x 8 legs for a total of 24 hours

In teams of 4 each member will complete:

1.7km Run

1.5km Row

1.5km Bike

45 Push Ups

45 Sit Ups

45 Air Squats

"The catch"

The catch is that this is a LOCK IN event and participants will not be able to leave the location for 24 hours. This is to signify that those that battle mental health/ mental illness cannot simply leave and turn it off;  thus our 24 hour event is held in one location (Purpose Fitness Adelaide)

Like you cannot escape mental health, you will not be able to escape each other for 24 hours.

Some stats:

About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.  That's 1 person for every leg of the event that we will complete.

For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide.

89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.

We want to help change these numbers.

R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide. 

Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.
