The security officer will walk day and night over 24 hours in and around Kippax, taking only a few minutes rest break every hour to stretch.

Mr Higgins tolds Kippax Today: "I was inspired to take up this challenge when I was watching an old episode of Record Breakers in which the late Roy Castle attempted to dance one million taps in less than 24 hours for charity.

"I thought it would be a good idea to do something similar and being a supporter of The Roy Castle Cancer Foundation, a third of the funds raised would go to that charity."

He said the footsteps would be the equivalent of walking from Leeds to Nottingham and all funds raised will be split between Viva! (Vegetarians International Voice for Animals), The Roy Castle Cancer Foundation and Christian Aid.

Mr Higgins, a vegan, said the challenge is planned for December 9 around Kippax and surrounding area, and any locals were welcome to join him for a short stretch of the route or just come along to give their support.

He added: "When I'm going through the night, I'll be staying mainly in the High Street area of Kippax. But through the day I plan to walk in Kippax and within a five-mile radius of the village."

He said he feels confident about the challenge and was grateful for support from friends and family: "I've had the odd doubter saying they don't think I can do it, but I know I can do it and I'm determined to do it so that's all that matters."

He is now in training and spends two days a week at the gym and is walking lots.
