Hundreds squat for brain tumour charity challenge
Three years ago, Kim Wilson was diagnosed with a tumour that was compressing part of her brain.
It was impossible for doctors to remove it completely, so she undergoes regular MRI scans to monitor it.
Seeing the distress these scans caused, her stepmum Amy was inspired to undertake a challenge to support her.
What started as a bit of fun for Amy and Kim, who are from Cockermouth, Cumbria, quickly spread all over the world, with strangers contributing their daily squats.
"Before you know it, 122 other people joined us and we all started doing 100 squats every day in August," Amy said.
Members of The Big Squat 2025 raised more than £15,000 for Brain Tumour Research.
