Introducing… The Impossibles!

The Impossibles Challenge

What will you do to show the world that you can?

Today we introduce you to seven individuals, some of whom may be familiar to you and some of whom may be new, all of whom have decided to commit to taking action to make a positive change in their lives, to do something that builds towards their dream, and also shows how much they believe in and respect themselves. They are united by a desire to make a change, to stretch themselves at the edge of their comfort zone and learn about themselves, providing mutual support in the process.

We are the Impossibles. We don’t have all the answers. We do believe that amazing things happen when you define your impossible – the thing that you think you can’t do. We decided to see what happens if more people defined their impossible. And so, here we are. We stand before you, each with a challenge, a challenge that, once, seemed impossible. We stand united, committed to helping each other through the tough times, and celebrating the good times. We’re ready to show the world that we can.

Meet the Impossibles

Ordinary Superhero Ruth

Meet Ruth. Ruth loves all things bikes but considers herself a ‘town cyclist’, not a distance one. So, she’s decided to cycle her furthest yet – 50+ miles!! Pedal power!

 

 

 

Ordinary Superhero Mel

Meet Mel. A long time ago, Mel used to play guitar. She’s strummed and she’s hummed, but mainly in the privacy of her own home. Now it’s time to let her voice shine as she takes on her first public performance!

 

 

 

Ordinary Superhero Michael

Meet Michael. Michael has been journalling for over 16 years. He’s a writer! And yet, he is timid about sharing his words with the world. With the support of his fellow Impossibles he’s going to start to share his writing, one step at a time, culminating in a public post before the end of December!

 

 

Ordinary Superhero Deb

Meet Deb. Deb is on a mission – a fitness mission! Her impossible is getting to the gym, and her aim is to work towards four gym visits a week, embedding it into her routine!

 

 

 

Ordinary Superhero NeilMeet Neil. Neil has a self-confessed addiction to sugar. However, he’s seen the impact its had on his health and he’s determined to change his relationship with food. By the end of December he’s completing a food challenge, sticking to a healthy meal plan for 30 days straight.

 

 

Ordinary Superhero Lou

Meet Lou. Lou is no athlete. Even before her health condition, she’s never been sporty. And since her health condition, she’s struggled with her fitness. It’s time for her to don her running shoes and try her first 5k run – and be the fittest she’s ever been in her life!

 

 

Ordinary Mystery SuperheroMeet our mystery Impossible. She’s recovering from a serious operation and struggling with the speed of her progress. So, she’s setting herself an Impossible challenge – one that’s all around TLC. She’s going to be taking better care of herself, so that she can make a positive contribution to her own well-being, and let her body take care of the rest!
