The challenge is to complete 100 skips a day in the month of September all while raising funds for LauraLynn Children’s Hospice.
The challenge is to complete 100 Skips every day however if you miss a day don't worry – you can always catch up the next day.
That’s easy! You can use the personal tracker in the leaflet which comes in your pack, just write down how many skips you do at the end of each day. Don’t forget to post in the Facebook Group here too and let us know how you’re doing!
Some smart watches have skipping counters but if you don't want to go high tech I find the best way to keep track is to count along in your head then write it down in your tracker.
As part of this challenge, you will be asked to set up a '100 Skips A Day' iDonate Fundraising Page for LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice where you can post your skips daily. These pages are linked to LauraLynn and we’ll be able to see your progress.
