I've raised £5000 to fund a Health & Wellbeing programme for local communities in County Durham, by taking on a world record for the most burpees in 24hrs!

Story
Starting on the 3rd February 12pm, I'll be taking on a huge personal challenge of completing 24-hours of Chest to Floor Burpees to raise £5000 for GF Community Foundation.
The money raised will be going towards funding and developing a health and wellbeing programme for communities within County Durham and the surrounding area. In setting up this programme, I hope to educate individuals on how to make healthier choices and provide guidance and support on individual wellbeing.
Whilst doing this challenge, I will also be attempting to break not one but TWO World Records by completing the most Chest to Floor Burpees in 12hrs and 24hrs! Currently, the World Records are 5,669 in 12hrs and 9,119 in 24hrs.
From a young age, I've always wanted to attempt a World Record and used to receive the Guinness Book of World Records each Christmas. I'm excited to be attempting this challenge whilst raising money for such a fantastic cause.
