SMART Recovery Press-Ups Challenge

Justin from CGL Reset Recovery in Tower Hamlets completed a fundraising challenge at the Recovery Walk in Crystal Palace Park, London.  For every press-up done during the Recovery Walk, Justin asked members of the recovery community to donate 10p per press-up.  Justin wanted to raise money for SMART Recovery to help weekly group meetings can become daily meetings.  During the two-hour event, Justin completed 71 press-ups and raised £75.40 for SMART Recovery.  Congratulations to Justin for his amazing achievement! A small video and a couple of videos can be found underneath, however to see more, please view the bottom of the weekly bulletin.

If you would like to donate to Justin’s SMART Recovery Press-Ups Challenge, please text SMART followed by the number of pounds you’d like to give to this number 70580 (i.e. SMART 1 = £1) or visit  https://smartrecovery.org.uk/donate/
