Story

This April, we are asking you to take on the challenge of completing 1,940 burpees in honour of the year Airborne Forces were formed.

On 22nd June 1940, Winston Churchill sent a letter to General Ismay requesting a corps of at least 5,000 troops, and by 21 July 1940, men were making their first descents after parachute training.
