Take on the Burpees for BYS 10 x 10 for 2 Challenge in April 2020
Burpees for BYS was created in 2017 by Brisbane based personal trainer Dave Kramer (Dave the Trainer) with a purpose to unite the local fitness community to help raise awareness about youth homelessness and raise funds for Brisbane Youth Service.
Over the past three years Burpees for BYS has raised over $22,000 in life-changing funds to support vulnerable young people caught in crisis or experiencing homelessness.
In 2020, the 4th annual Burpees for BYS will be held throughout the month of April to coincide with Queensland Youth Week (1st-9th April). Will you take on the Burpees for BYS 10 x 10 for 2 Challenge?
