"The challenge is PCYC NSW's Emergency Appeal during the state-wide lockdown to continue to support vulnerable young people throughout the lockdown period," a PCYC spokesperson said.
"Not only is the challenge a great way to support those who are disadvantaged in the community, but it invites the whole family to get involved and keep active throughout this period. The effects of physical activity on mental wellness are undeniable, particularly at a time like this."

Meanwhile, PCYC has started a new initiative 'Stay Active' in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown.
The 'Stay Active' series has been launched acknowledging that regular exercise is essential for both mental and physical health, especially when someone is restricted to their home.
Through the 'Stay Active' initiative, PCYC aims to encourage frequent activity in a fun and engaging way via free, short YouTube videos, replicating sports and activities typically hosted by the clubs.
The videos include a gymnastics challenge, easy dance routine, cartwheel tips, flexibility exercises and drills with a fitness ball. Each mini-class is straightforward, simple and integrates tools and props lying around the house, like soft toys.
The PCYC Stay Active series inspires and keeps kids engaged in their fitness and involve the whole family. There are additional strength and core workouts that target an adult audience.
Links to the videos can be found here.
