Brisbane Youth Service (BYS) is calling on locals to help them break the Guinness World Record for ‘Most People Performing Burpees’ on April 6th to help raise money and awareness for youth homelessness.

1,500 participants are needed to perform burpees together for two minutes to secure the world record.

Ambassador and Founder of the burpees campaign, Dave Kramer, said he grew up in poor conditions and remembered how good it felt to receive support and generosity from others.
