We are Running a full marathon every morning and cycling 100 miles in the afternoon / evening, this is a World Record Challenge taking place over 6.4 days starting on the 14th July 2013..

Previously Andy North & the team have successfully completed many major challenges such as www.sunshinechallenge.org running & cycling & kayaking from Yorkshire to Gibraltar.. the challenges have raised over £75,000 for British Forces Charities.. 

Our World Record challenge has the full support & leadership of Andy Reid who was a Corporal with the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, whilst on patrol in Afghanistan, Andy stood on a pressure plate IED and as a result of the explosion, he lost both his legs one below and one above the knee and his right arm.  After only 2 weeks Andy astounded people with his recovery and positive attitude. The Soldiers' charity fully supported Andy by providing floor lifts and ramps throughout his house to ensure he had full access at all times. Andy and Claire have just had their first son "Will" and Andy now spends his time helping others to overcome adversity and providing motivational talks for corporate and private events...
