Story

My workout challenge is for 'CancerCare'. I'm doing a "Barbell
Santa-Dash''. This replaces the usual 10K run we do every year, through
& around Lancaster.  Covid-19 prevents us doing the run this year, so
this is my alternative. The idea is to raise this 40Kg  barbell to a total
height of 1.5 mile or 100 tons to a metre high & that's gonna be 1230 lifts. The lifts are preceded by a 100 burpee's warmup.

If anyone has a little bit of spare change it would be really appreciated for the charity. CancerCare are an amazing local Charity who do so much to support families who are affected by cancer or bereavement. They provide all their services free of charge and I would like to support them through this difficult time.

The challenge runs over 6 weeks until the 20th December. I have until then to do the 1230 lifts!!
