Isle of Wight gym group to tackle 60,000 burpees for charity

Around 70 members of CrossFit Incursion will push themselves to the limit to raise over £1,000 for Mountbatten.

Each member has been allocated a portion of the total burpees, with means for some participants completing up to 1,000 burpees individually.

• You can donate through CrossFit Incursion’s JustGiving page, with all proceeds going directly to charity.

Organisers are encouraging everyone to bring family and friends to witness the challenge and contribute to the fundraising effort.

The public is also invited to cheer on members and show support, with the event getting underway at 9.30am, just along from Appley Cafe.

A spokesperson from CrossFit Incursion said: “It's going to be a mammoth challenge for all involved, and we appreciate all the support we can get, so head down to the beach and cheer us all on!

“Please donate to this amazing cause that works so hard to provide the best end-of-life care and help and support for the family around them.”
