Burpees For Babies

Tomorrow, 10th December 2025, marks 2 years to the day since my son Finn was stillborn. To commemorate what would have been his 2nd birthday I’m going to do 2 burpees per day adding 2 burpees every day for 6 months. This challenge starts easy, but it scales incredibly quickly. When i'm halfway through I'll be doing 180 burpees per day, however, on the final week I'll average over 350 every day. According to Gemini I'll do 32580 in total by the end of the 6 months.

This time I’m fundraising for 2 child loss charities that supported my family and I after we lost Finn, Anam Cara Fasgadh and Baby Loss Retreat.

Anam Cara Fasgadh was founded in 2018 to provide comfort, compassion, and meaningful respite for families afffected by the death of a baby, child, or young person.

Baby Loss Retreat are another Scottish based baby loss charity. They offer aftercare support, including trauma therapy, counselling and respite stays, to families who have suffered the loss of a baby.

Your support in remembering our beautiful son means the World to us.
