Local residents are invited to join BH Live and Julia’s House for the ultimate ‘HIIT Squad’ fundraising workout this March.
A challenging two-hour High-Intensity Interval Training fundraising event is being hosted at Littledown Centre on Wednesday 16 September 2020 between 6pm-8pm.
It will cost each person £10 to take part and the full amount will be donated to Julia’s House. Each participant will also be encouraged to fundraise via a dedicated Just Giving Page.
Participants will help to raise £60,000 for Julia’s House which will go towards funding two nurses for a year, making a life-changing difference to the local families the Dorset and Wiltshire children’s hospice supports.
Focusing on fast-paced MAX interval training, participants can expect to push themselves to the limits. BH Live’s instructors, Adrian, Mina, Nicki, Claire and Sue will get everyone motivated and encourage them to dig deep and smash this two-hour charity event.
BH Live employees will also be taking part in all-day cycle challenges at Littledown, Pelhams, Stokewood, Queen’s Park, Corfe Mullen and Sir David English to bolster the fundraising.
Furthermore AFC Bournemouth boss, Eddie Howe, has teamed up with CEOs Martin Edwards (Julia’s House), Chris Symons (BH Live), and other business leaders from across Dorset and Wiltshire to take in part in their own HIIT Squad challenge and harness support from their teams and clients.
Chris explains why he and his team across BH Live are backing this event:
“Julia’s House does fantastic work supporting families during some of the toughest times they will ever face. If we can help support their work in some small way by harnessing the energy of a HIIT class and channel that into some amazing fundraising too, then we are on the way to collectively making a huge difference to the lives of the people in the communities we serve.”
