In April I, and some other mentalists, did 24 hours of burpees (totalling over 45,000 of them) to raise £4,000 for The Make A Wish Foundation.

It's time to do something daft again.

On the 23 of October, we will be climbing the height of Everest (and back down) in 24 hours.

5 miles up. 5 miles down.

Up and down the '108 Steps' in Macclesfield (opposite the train station, between The Nag's Head and The Old Millstone) every 2m 24s for 24 hours.

It takes 2 months to climb the mountain itself.

Of course, conditions will be better in Macclesfield. But the pace will be hard.

4 of us are doing the full climb though - myself, Alan Motyer-Lowndes, Paul Baker and James Kirwan.

It will be beyond hard.

But, ultimately it's for a great cause - kids with cancer.

All cancer is, of course, horrible.

But children getting it is particularly awful.

Whatver we can do to help even a few children and their familes will be more than worthwhile.

Please donate whatever you can :)
