Story

Róisín Sarah Sarah Siobhan

Cancer, has had an impact on the lives of countless individuals. Friends, families and colleagues have all been affected one way or another by the disease. Our aim is to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity - The Al Jalila Foundation - while exhausting ourselves with countless reps in exercise. Every 5aed raised is counted as 1 rep towards our 20,000.

On March 9th, we will take part in The Battle Cancer Challenge is a strength and fitness challenge for teams of four. The goal is to hit 20,000 reps in 90 minutes across two rounds of five fitness stations. A rep is a metre moved, weight lifted, rep completed or every 5AED raised.

Please donate what you can, so that we aren’t completely destroyed after the 90 minutes ?
