Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I want to do 2011 push-ups to raise money for BBC Children in Need. Why? Read below.
I look forward to my birthday every year as I have such a great time. On 31st March 2011 I was 11 years old and it occurred to me that not every child has such a great birthday as me so I decided to raise money for the BBC Children in Need charity. I didn't know what to do but thought "I am good at press-ups, I'll do eleven hundred pushups in 2 hours." It was quite a challenge but in the end I did 1800 push ups! in 2 hours! I also raised a bit under £600 so a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who's sponsored me so far.
Then I realised it's actual BCC Children in Need Day on 18th November and there are so many children who are not as lucky as me. So I thought I would like to try and do a bit more on the actual day and raise even more money for Children in Need - so now I'm going to aim for 2011 push-ups. Can I do it? I think I can because I found it easier than I thought I would last time, but it's going to be a lot tougher doing another 1,000 and your support will really help me on my way, especially when my arms are getting tired. I hope to do it in about 3 hours, but we shall see. I'd be really pleased if you would sponsor me and help more children have a birthday like mine. You can follow my progress on my website which I'll update. Thank you so much.
