I'm Craig Beevers, a Countdown series winner and National Scrabble Champion. I've been playing and organising Scrabble for a decade and I'm always looking for a new challenge.

I wanted a local charity to benefit from the attempt on the World Record, and to be a noteworthy event in the community. This is my second attempt with Ray Tate - we were on course to smash the old record when he collapsed 14 hours in.

Since then the old record has been broken and we face a much tougher target, but we will be giving everything to try and beat it.

We are raising money for Daisy Chain and End Polio Now. Donations on this page go to Daisy Chain.

Daisy Chain, which was established in 2003, provides a range of services, including support and activity groups for the whole family from the 5.5 acre farm in Norton, Stockton-on-Tees. Autism has a huge impact on the whole family so Daisy Chain takes into account the needs of the child, parents, carers and siblings.
