A local mumand her fitness coach are on a month-long challenge of 57 squats per day – acombined total of 38,874 squats - to fundraise for the National Breast CancerFoundation.
Over themonth of march, Kerry Dibbin joined forces with ‘A Fit Life by Tonya’ to raiseawareness for the current 57 Australians diagnosed daily with breast cancer,having raised $4,482 so far.
Ms Dibbin,who had decided to undertake the national fundraising effort, also recently invitedthe Proserpine Rugby League Club to join her in one day of the challenge afterbringing the idea up to her son’s Under 12 team.
“When we spoke with the Club, they were so quick to jump onboard and very supportive. It was just terrific,” Ms Dibbin said.
Proserpine Brahmans Club President Justin Folley said theentire club joined in, and that it was an obvious choice to do so with the clubhaving been touched by Breast Cancer on more than one occasion.
“We were keen to do whatever we could to support the 57Squat Challenge,” he said.
Ms Dibbin,who trains with local fitness coach Tonya Dunne in her A Fit Life by Tonyagroup, soon had her coach and her coach’s participants signed up too.
“Given my line of work as a Personal Trainer the idea of theNBCF 57 Squat Challenge resonated and I thought, now this is something I can doto support my family and friends fighting this terrible disease,” Tonya Dunnesaid.
“I want tomake a difference in the lives of those 57 Australians impacted by the disease– that's why I'm taking on the 57 Squat Challenge, to raise vital funds forworld-class breast cancer research. Everyone knows someone who has or has hadBreast Cancer.”
