FAQS - 100 Press Ups a Day in October
Could you do 100 Press Ups every day in October and help to raise funds for children with life-limiting conditions and their families?
It’s a tough challenge, but it’ll help LauraLynn provide vital care, while keeping you healthy too!
By joining the LauraLynn ‘Press Up Challenge', you’ll be making an incredible difference to the lives of the children in our care.
We have created a Facebook Group of people like you who are doing this challenge. Join it to see how they’re getting on!

The challenge is to complete 100 press ups every day totaling 3,100 over the month of October while fundraising for LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice.
That’s no problem, if you can't do 100 a day you can start on a smaller number and build your way up to hit the target of 3,100 press ups in October.
That’s easy! You can use the personal tracker in the leaflet which comes in your pack, just write down how many press ups you do at the end of each day. Don’t forget to post in the Facebook Group too and let us know how you’re doing!
There are loads of apps available in the App and Google Play Store. We recommend using Press Up Counter. You can also use your smart watch if you have one. LauraLynn will provide a tracker in your fundraising pack too.
As part of this challenge, you will be asked to set up a n iDonate Fundraising Page for LauraLynn, Ireland's Children's Hospice where you can post your daily totals. These pages are linked to LauraLynn and we’ll be able to see your progress.
Visit www.idonate.ie/event/100pressupsadayinoctober23 and select “Start Fundraising”.
We suggest starting on October 1st and continuing throughout the month but if the timing doesn’t suit you then feel free to pick a time/month that does.
You can register for your pack on our website.
You should receive your fundraising pack in the post by the start of the challenge. We are sending the packs out in large batches from the middle of September.

Our T-Shirts come in standards men sizes ranging from Small to XX-Large.
Each pack comes with one T-Shirt, you shouldn't need another one but if the size is wrong let us know and we can exchange it.
