If you’re a bit tired reading this as you had a late night at the Human Nature show at the MECC last night, get ready for this.
If you have no plans for tomorrow, let me tell you, this will be awesome.
Saturday will be a great day to get up early because the annual day to raise money for Jeans for Genes Day is happening and we want you and the family to be part of it.
It’s the annual Kilometre Burpee Challenge with Christine and Col running the event.
A few years ago, I got a call from Christine on 4MK, asking if I would volunteer some time on the microphone to rev the crowd up as a whole bunch of legends do burpees outside the council building on Gordon St early on a Saturday in August. Of course, I said yes, and here we are three years later, and we are going stronger again.
All it takes is teams of how many you want, doing burpees after burpees going to reach one kilometre on the grass. Sounds easy right? Nope, but you know what, that’s why it’s like this.
Jeans for Genes Day is all about finding a cure for kids with cancers, and disorders which makes it difficult for them to lead a well, easier life. These kids get hit for six, their families get smacked out of the park every day, and they get back up again and do it all over again 365 days a year. So, there is the reason we do burpees. You get smacked down, and you get up again.
If you want to join us, come down after 7:30, and get ready to go after 8am. It will be fun. I’ll have the microphone so you’ll know it will be.
Once it’s done you can come to the Sarina Show because that’s where I’ll be heading to do the 4MK show live, and there’s something different this year. I’ll be putting some of my cooking up for judging to bag an award. What will I have with me? Scones? Jam Drops? Cakes? You’ll have to wait and see, and maybe join me at the Sarina Showgrounds and taste test some with the QCWA ladies too!
Oh, and yes, I’ll have to taste them myself too! Only if I must.
Enjoy the weekend, and the next time we catch up, I’ll tell you how you can have dinner on the runway at the Mackay Airport for a wonderful cause.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
