Hey! As the title of my blog suggests, I'm on a mission - a fitness mission to complete a challenge. I've no idea how it's going to go but I hope you enjoy following my ups and downs while I share what I learn along the way.

I'm Jen - a forty-something wife and mum to our 8 year old son and crazy spaniel. I follow a plant based diet and I'm obsessed (in a positive way) with fitness and nutrition. I've always enjoyed training but after a tough time in our lives a few years ago, exercise is what pulled me out of a very dark place and continues to be my therapy.

My mission combines my love of exercise with my job. I work for an amazing palliative care charity in Dorset and I have decided to do a 24 hour Crossfit challenge to fundraise for our new hospice. Most people have looked at me like I’m crazy when I tell them about my challenge and I do wonder if I should consider their comments more carefully. However, I am going for it and this blog will document my journey to achieving this goal with all the day to day challenges in between. It's going to be a blast...!!
