Man takes on 24-hour burpee feat for bucket list

Doctors have told Jordan Lockley that he only has six months to live

A man is set to take on a burpee world record challenge to raise money for his friend's bucket list.

Craig Timmins, an avid fundraiser, will start performing the exercises from 05:00 BST on Friday at his gym in Bloxwich, Walsall.

The current record stands at 11,988 in 24 hours.

He is raising money for 21-year-old Jordan Lockley, who has Quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy and Gilbert's syndrome and has been told he has six months to live, Mr Timmins said.

"I just wanted to help," the 38-year-old told BBC Radio WM.

The challenge starts at 05:00 BST on Friday

The personal trainer at AJ's Gym added: "His organs are being crushed and he hasn’t got long left, that is why I’m doing this to help raise money for his bucket list."

Quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy is the most severe form of cerebral palsy and affects the muscles and movement. Those with the condition usually cannot walk and may experience speech difficulties or seizures.

The funds raised from the challenge will go towards the cost of a holiday to Blackpool or London for Mr Lockley and his family.

The challenge will be filmed and the footage will be reviewed by a team at Guinness World Records.
