Fundraiser - Adam's Burpee challenge

Story

On 11th September 2025, I will be completing 2,977 burpees — one for each life lost in the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

This challenge will take place at 09:00 outside of Douglas Fire Station over the course of a 9-hour shift, a tribute of the courage and sacrifice shown by so many on that fateful day. As a firefighter, I feel a deep connection to the 343 firefighters, paramedics, and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice trying to save others. They are our brothers and sisters, and their bravery continues to inspire us daily.

This is not about me — it's about honouring the memory of those we lost. Every drop of sweat is a small tribute to their immense courage.

If you feel moved to support, please consider donating. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps carry their legacy forward.

Never Forget. Always Honour.

With gratitude,

Adam Boyd
