Story

*******NEW UPDATE********

We are now changing slightly what we are doing. Me (Owen Covill) Julian Donovan and Karl Cockerton will now be accompanied by Philip Doyle and Daniel Ilabaca.

Obviously because we have more people it means we are going to have to up the back somersaults. We will now be doing 1750 back somersaults which also means we will have to do more each. It's not a big increase but I still wondering whether or not I'm actually going to be able to do it at the moment. So a little more training is needed.

Please make sure you get involved by donating or supporting us on the day. The date is currently set for the 20th of September and will hopefully located in front of St Marys Church by the Kings College but just a couple of minor details to confirm.

Conditions:

Five of us have to complete 1750 back somersaults. For the back somersault to count our feet have to touch the floor before any other part of our body. Trust me this is no easy task, so far the most I've done is about 100 in about 45 minutes and I was destroyed. We are setting a provisional time limit for us to complete them. Time limit will be 4hrs.


We are doing it outside in the town center in clear view of all and a video of our fund raising will be created. To protect our knees and feet from the repetitive impact we shall be doing them on thin judo mats.

Please support our cause! Thank you.

****Update****

Thank you to all of those who have donated money already. Brilliant start to the overall goal!
