We're fundraising for...

Even in 2020, there is still a significant stigma attached to mental health problems, including stress, anxiety, PTSD and Depression. The Medicine Ball challenge aims to help break these stigmas and get people talking about their mental health. It's ok to speak up and say i'm not ok.

The challenge involves cuffing a 3kg Medicine Ball to your wrist for 7 days. It may not sound that heavy but being tied to the medicine ball continuously for 7 days is a significant burden. The ball becomes a physical, visual and tangible representation of the invisible burden of mental health so many of us can experience.

The challenge raises money for the following 3 charities. Any support you can offer will be gratefully received and split evenly between the 3 causes.

ABF The Soldiers' Charity

Combat Stress
