The mini challenges

See Your Suburb #YourWay invited family and friends to attempt the 5km, 10km and or 20km challenge while seeing parts of the Inner West never seen before. It could be undertaken as a self-guided walk or cycle and was suitable for all ages.

Thank you to Inner West Council for helping ANZUP raise funds for below the belt cancer research.

WEEK 1: Show us #YourWay 1 - 7 May 2021

The first mini challenge was for participants to snap a selfie of how they ‘moved’ their way. They could have been running, swimming, jumping, dancing, lifting weights at the gym - or a little bit of everything.

Congrats to our Week 1 winner Sam Rickard, who hit the gym and smashed his fitness goals. Sam won a bottle of Larrikin Gin, donated kindly by our supporters at Larrikin Gin and Kilderkin Distillery, Ballarat..

WEEK 2: Share why you are moving #YourWay 8 - 16 May 2021

This week the mini challenge was to explore participants ‘why’.

Whether they loved exercising, wanted to get healthier, worked in healthcare or someone they loved had been affected by below the belt cancers. We asked the question what motivated them to join us in the challenge? After all, sharing stories is a key part of raising awareness about below the belt cancers.

Congratulations to Bec’s Troops who won a Spice Tailor hamper. Bec’s Troops had a team of over 20 people participating, raising awareness and funds in memory of Bec Jago.

WEEK 3: Where are you moving #YourWay 17 - 23 May 2021

In week 3 of the Below the Belt #MoveYourWay Challenge, we wanted to know where in the world participants were getting out there and moving. Participants snapped a selfie with an iconic photo of where they were completing the challenge.

Well done to Sam McFedries, who explored Sydney with her incredible fitness goal. Sam included images of her walking at the harbour and along Sydney’s key walking tracks. Sam won a Twelve South office accessories pack.

WEEK 4: Celebrate #YourWay 24 - 31 May 2021

This challenge was about celebrating your #MoveYourWay Challenge successes. Did participants smash their km goal? Did they try a new sport? Or reach their fundraising target? Well, Joe Bakhmoutski did.

“Time flies when you’re having fun - especially in lockdown! It’s been a great month of running around AND raising money for this great cause, but... I could never do it without YOU! A month later with your help, our team raised $4,970 for below the belt cancer clinical trials! This one is not for the faint-hearted... It was a challenge - and we have delivered! This involves a bucket of ice cold water and... You know the rest!”

Congratulations Joe, who won a Big Drop Brewing pack.
