Build strength and support safer healthcare for everyone

"Building strength isn't just about fitness — it's about staying safer and becoming more confident in everyday life."

— Dr Lynette Ewart, GP and strength coach

Squat for strength this March!

Every squat you complete helps raise vital funds so that AvMA can continue supporting people affected by avoidable medical harm, and ensure their experiences lead to learnings that make healthcare safer for everyone.

This challenge is about more than fitness — it's about standing up for openness, accountability, and better outcomes for those people and families affected by medical harm.

Empower your body. Empower your voice.
Empower AvMA's mission.

How does it work?

1. Register

Sign up solo or as part of a team and commit to 300, 1,000 or 2,500 squats this March — or set your own goal! Every squat brings us closer to healthcare systems that listen, learn, and collaborate.

2. Fundraise

Set up your personal or team fundraising page and rally support from friends, family, and colleagues. Every pound raised helps AvMA provide vital support to harmed patients.

3. Build strength

Building strength supports everyday movement, balance, and independence. Squats help maintain muscle over time, making it easier to stand up, move confidently, and stay active for longer.

Which level is right for you?

Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Beginner Challenge — 300 squats

(around 10 per day in March)

A gentle, accessible way to get moving with purpose. This level is ideal if you're new to squats or returning to regular movement. It focuses on practising the movement, building confidence, and establishing a simple routine across March.

Intermediate Challenge — 1,000 squats

(around 30–35 per day in March)

A steady challenge that supports consistency and strength over time. This level suits those who are comfortable with squats and want to build endurance and lower-body strength while keeping the challenge manageable alongside everyday life.

Advanced Challenge — 2,500 squats

(around 80 per day in March)

A more demanding challenge for those who enjoy pushing themselves. This level requires planning and pacing, with squats spread across the month to build strength, stamina, and commitment — all while supporting safer healthcare.
