Last Saturday, 20th of February, Lansdowne players and coaches undertook the #gimme1000 challenge in aid of Pieta House.

‘Gimme1000’ was a virtual event where participants were challenged to complete 1,000 reps of any exercise of their choice, all in one day. The goal was to raise €100,000 and this was more than exceeded with € 267,065.31 raised €3000 of which that was contributed by Lansdowne members.

Head coach Mark McHugh, doing 1000 pushups, and his wife Orlaith, doing 1000 squats, filmed the challenge which we present for your viewing pleasure below:

 

Congratulations to all who took part!
