Story

Thank you for coming to my #550500 fund raising page.  

The original idea of the  challenge was of course to get everyone moving in a fun and creative way to celebrate my 50th birthday.... BUT the real reason was to raise money for this worthy cause; Cure Parkinson's.

Joooo is one of my besties.  The pictures above say it all.  She has early onset Parkinson's.  She's not letting that stop her do anything because of the amazing advances in medicine and research and the drugs she's able to take.  Please help me to help her continue the crazy adventures.  I support Cure Parkinson's because they are looking for creative new cures and treatments to conquer Parkinson's.  Let's help generations to overcome this disease and live life like Planet Thorny!  

To  help just donate as little as E5 and then get involved with the active celebration and represent your country! 

It's a simple fun TRYathlon challenge! 

The challenge starts on 5th May so time to get training and get yourself SET UP!!

All you need to do is go to the app store OR google play and dowload the "GoJoe" fitness app.

Step 1: Press the magnifying glass 🔍

Step 2:  Choose the 550500 Challenge

Step 3: Join your country’s team 🌎 🇳🇱

Step 4: From 5th May 2021 just do as many kms as you can from 5am 5 May for 5 days (ending 5pm 9th May) to help your country.  Most kms, wins.  

It’s about km-based activities (run, walk, cycle or swim) Try all three or just the one you prefer we don’t mind, it’s about energetic moving not just your daily steps.  Post your pictures and creative activity to do 50 of "something" with #550500 and we can see all the fun around the world xx

The aim is for each country in the world to do at least 50km or 50 of something across the 5 days.  (and have some beers afterwards!)

I'm attempting 5km swimming, 50km running and 500km cycling across the 5 days (none of which I've ever done to that distance before!!!)  

So let's all move with purpose and try to raise £5k for Parkinson’s Trust (link below).  You don’t need a wearable to take part.  

Email help@gojoe.com for assistance.

Thanks and please spread the word - the more the merrier!!  5️⃣0️⃣ xx
