Story

Why are you raising money?

I’m taking on THREE Guinness World Records to raise £5,000 for the Combined Cadet Force Association (CCFA).

Over the summer of 2025, I’ll be attempting:

Most Burpees in One Minute

Most Chest-to-Floor Push-Up Burpees in One Minute

Fastest Mile of Burpee Broad Jumps

This is going to test me physically and mentally, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges young people face every day. The CCFA helps over 30,000 cadets across the UK, including many from disadvantaged backgrounds, allowing them to build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that stay with them for life.

As an Army Reservist with 116 Provost Company, Royal Military Police, and a Cadet Instructor at the CCF Ferrers School in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire. I’ve seen first-hand the incredible impact the CCF has on young people. They provide life-changing opportunities, whether it’s adventurous training, leadership tasks, or gaining qualifications like the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Every donation will go directly to the CCFA to help fund equipment, training, and camps, ensuring that no young person misses out on these opportunities, regardless of their background.

This challenge is my way of giving back and inspiring others to support a cause that’s close to my heart.

If you can, please sponsor me and help me hit my £5,000 target. Together, we can make a real difference for the next generation of leaders. Every penny counts, and I can’t thank you enough for your support!
