Shelby's Juneathon Challenge

A while ago exercise-shy Shelby decided (going against all of her natural instincts) to participate in an exercise challenge for Macmillan. To make it even harder for her, she didn't choose what she would be doing, that she left down to you.

After receiving suggestions we created a Survey Monkey and got you all to vote, the winner which we announced a few weeks ago on Facebook, was Juneathon.

Juneathon is a month-long exercise challenge, in which participants must exercise each day in the month of June and then blog about it. Shelby will be blogging her experience using this blog, but to stay up-to-date with the posts as they're being uploaded make sure to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter!

You're probably looking at your calendar in confusion, yes June is now five days in - but, Shelby (and the other Angels, Megan and Jess) has been on holiday and only returned today! But fear not, Shelby will be continuing for Juneathon for five days into July to make up for those missed while away. 

You may also be thinking this all sounds a bit too easy (not to Shelby!), but don't worry we're going to make her really work for your donations. We will be taking suggestions and running daily (potentially) votes to decide which form of exercise (torture) we'll be making Shelby do each day - so make sure that you send in your suggestions and vote too!

First day suggestions, take a vote! 
  • Run around the block three times (Am at my parent's and they live on a hill).
  • Walk to Capstone Park and back (about four miles total).
  • Do 50 sit ups and 30 leg raises. 
  • Any other suggestions?
Vote by commenting, and we welcome suggestions!
