Get Ready for the 10 Day Challenge: Support Fletcher Street Cottage!

It’s time to push limits, break barriers and make a real difference - all in support of Fletcher Street Cottage!

The 10 Day Challenge

From 13th to 22nd October, local legend and Byron Markets stallholder Torsten Krause is taking on an epic fitness challenge. For 10 days, Torsten will be testing his endurance, strength and spirit to raise vital funds and awareness for Fletcher Street Cottage. Here’s what he’s set to conquer:

Daily Challenge

• 21km of running (a total of 210km - equivalent to 5 marathons!)
• 100 push-ups (1,000 push-ups over 10 days)
• A 3-minute plank (30 minutes of core-burning planks)
• 20 pull-ups (200 pull-ups to build strength)
  
  

Note: Torsten will smash through the run and plank in one go each day, while the push-ups and pull-ups will be spread out over 24 hours.

Fundraising Goal: $5,000
