Fundraiser for the World Land Trust - 3.9miles on a Space Hopper!

[rogauster]

On June 17th 2012*, I will attempt to bounce 3.9 miles on a Space Hopper along Gwithian Beach in Cornwall. Yes, I will look a complete and utter muppet and possibly cause myself some serious pain, but there is in fact a reason for doing so!

The World Land Trust is a charity close to my heart. They buy areas of natural land in order to preserve them and the species which live within them, and therefore encourage the natural ecosytem. For every £100 an acre of land can be saved in areas such Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala and Mexico (part of Buy an Acre) WLT also purchase and protect threatened Orang-utan habitat in Borneo, wildlife corridors for Elephants in India and grasslands in Kenya (Special Appeals). For more information, please head to Rainforest conservation in action with the World Land Trust, international wildlife conservation organisation World Land Trust

I can now also reveal that this event is to be an official Guinness World Records(TM) Attempt! The record I shall be attempting to break is the Furthest Distance Travelled on a Space Hopper in 24 Hours - which currently stands at 3.11miles (5km). I predict it should take me about 4 hours or so to break this record! (If you mention this event anywhere, please avoid mentioning the fact it is a record attempt in the headline and only include it in the body of the text. Never use the logo and always have the registered trademark symbol after the name Guinness World Records(TM). This is to avoid breaching copyright licensing laws. Thank you very much!)

So please, dig deep - and look out for passing boys on space hoppers!


*Please note, the date I will bounce is subject to change, but it will most definately happen and it will most definately be in June 2012. Thanks.
