LOCAL MAN ALLISTER ATTEMPTS TO SMASH WORLD RECORD

www.allisterbrown.com

Lisburn man Allister Brown is preparing to smash a Guinness World Record this July and raise vital funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust at the same time.

30 year old Allister is aiming to drum for 100 hours non-stop between the 22 and 26 July. Allister previously held the record in 2003 when he drummed for 58 hours and 17 minutes, and 2004 when he drummed for 78 hours. The current world record is 85 hours and 30 minutes and was achieved by Gery Jallo (Belgium), from 22-25 February 2007 at the Pakenhof, Heverlee, Belgium.

To break the record Allister must play recognisable tunes and not repeat any song within 4 hours. For each hour he plays he is allowed a 5 minute break.

Allister hopes to raise sponsorship for his challenge which will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the UK’s most common, life-threatening inherited disease and claims three lives a week in the UK. Allister chose the charity as a family friend has the illness.

Allister said "This is the third and final time I will undertake this challenge so I really hope to be the first person to reach the 100 hours mark. I hope lots of people sponsor me and also come down to support me on the 22^nd."

All money raised will help fund research into treating and curing CF. It will also help provide support, advice and appropriate clinical care to the 8,000 babies, children and young adults with Cystic Fibrosis in the UK.
