"Burpees4Bursaries" is a non-profit organisation that aims to raise funds to send children in our local communities to school as well as assist them with uniforms, textbooks and essentials.
I arrived at the box not really knowing what to expect. The turnout was amazing! So many happy smiley people from different CrossFit boxes coming together to make a difference. A great vibe with a DJ providing the beats, fresh coffee, Paleo food from Black Market Foods as well as loads of awesome prizes. We started off with some welcomes and speeches and then in true CrossFit style we ran through the movement standards and then it was time to start.
I really didn't think that people would keep up the intensity and keep going for 67 minutes and I assumed that people would drop out along the way but boy was I wrong! The music and the positive energy from everyone pulled us through. It was such an amazing feeling working out as part of a big group and it really brought home the idea of community which is one of the important principles of CrossFit. It really felt good to be a part of this fundraiser and help to make a difference.
The workout produced a total of 32,630 burpees done in 67 minutes. THATS A LOT OF BURPEES!
