00:00 Well the record was 805 and I think we're sitting somewhere around 850 at the moment.
00:07 So we're hoping to crack 900 but we'll see how that goes.
00:16 Yeah sure, so we're raising money for JCPU, headed by Will Smith.
00:22 Basically we just think it's a really great organisation where they go and help underprivileged
00:27 children in their care and in their program and they're a non-profit so I know they're
00:32 always looking for donations and sort of the alliance of our values very well and what
00:37 they do.
00:38 We're ambitious people.
00:39 Mike did a solo 24 hour challenge earlier this year.
00:45 And then I think we all thought let's have a crack at it.
00:50 I mean it's team work so we could all get involved because it was pretty cool to watch
00:54 him do it.
00:55 He wants us to do psychology, birth and values.
00:58 So he funded the program for the main year this year.
01:01 It was pretty awesome.
01:03 Yeah it was pretty awesome.
01:04 Very, very, had a lot of feedback and everything from it to a lot of the mothers and private
01:09 messaging and us saying how beneficial it's been for them.
01:14 Most of it's just been from our regular gym sessions and building up the fitness from
01:19 that.
01:20 Yeah and I think a lot of it's been made to work for us as well.
01:25 But I think we build that within the gym together.
