<p>I am one of 28 fundraisers selected for a world record attempt on May 12 in Crosby, Merseyside. Two sides of 14 players are aiming to play touch rugby for 30 hours, beating the current record of 27.</p> <p>Though a novel idea this is not for egos but for charity, with Clatterbridge Cancer Centre set to benefit from our marathon match.</p> <p>Staying awake for 30 hours is tough. My training is going well, but playing rugby for &nbsp;that period will be incredibly hard. Supporting a good cause is the motivation.&nbsp;</p> <p> <p>There are more fundraising appeals now than there ever have been, each as worthy as the next.</p> <p>I understand times are dificult, but if you have any spare change you could donate it would be much appreciated.</p> </p> <p>For more details, and to read my training blog, visit:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.liverpoolheartbeat.com/waterlooworldrecord/">http://www.liverpoolheartbeat.com/waterlooworldrecord/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's some legal stuff &nbsp;from JustGiving:</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
