On the 28th of March I will start an attempt to break the current World Record for Longest Marathon Riding Bumper Cars. The aim is to ride for 27 and half hours, regaining the record I previously held in 2013.

The rules stipulate I'm allowed a 5 minute break for every completed hour I do. So I'll be eating breakfast, dinner and lunch whilst behind the wheel, just don't ask about how I'll cope with going to the toilet. Or tell the police I'm driving whilst distracted.

So as much as I love theme parks and bumper cars, this will be a genuinely grueling challenge. Having previously held the record by driving for 26 hours I have experience in knowing how tough it is, especially during the early hours of the morning.

I picked Epilepsy Research UK as my chosen charity as I lost two family members through epilespy. One of my lasting memories of my auntie is of riding the bumper cars at Wickham Fair. So this is a fitting tribute. 

I genuinely appreciate every donation, large or small and hope you'll be cheering us on.
