Daves' Movember Ball 2026
About this Event
Hi I’m Dave and I have been a Movember fundraiser for the last 15 years; over this time, I have raised over £100,000 for the cause. To raise money, I have previously carried out tough personal physical challenges, normally for the 30 days of November / Movember. Last year I raised over £10,000 by doing a press-up for each pound donated to me – I did 10,213 press-ups in total over 30 days.
A lot of these challenges have been held with the support of Crossfit Beorn. At which I’ve also completed a Crossfit hero work out every day, cycle erg from Lands End to John O’Grotes + a bit (over 1000 miles), Ski erg the height of mount Everest every day (8,849m) to name but a few.
To give my aging (62-year-old) body a rest, we are holding a ball this year and are looking to combine this with a silent auction. (see link)
All profit from the ticket sales and auction will go to my Movember fundraising total so your support is extremely appreciated.
