Story

So following on from my epic 11,111 Burpee and 3,000 press up challenge, I'm putting a team of absolute legends together to take part in the Brecon Beacons Race the Sun event:

Its a cheeky little dusk 'til dawn jaunt on 10th June 2023, where we will be cycling 35 miles around the Brecon Beacons with 1,000m vertical, followed by a 2-mile kayak paddle, and finally yomping up Pen Y Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons with an altitude of 886m, on an 8 mile round trip to raise money for Action Medical Research, which is an incredible cause. 

Action Medical Research are the leading UK charity funding vital research to help stop the suffering of diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children and young people.  By supporting us, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases.  

With your help, we're determined to make a real difference to children's lives.
