Hi my name is Charlie and for the past 18 months, I’ve had my eye on a seemingly impossible goal: breaking a world record I call the Muscle Up Marathon. The current world record stands at 2,002 muscle ups completed in 24 hours — a benchmark that pushes both mental and physical limits to the extreme.

In addition to this personal journey, I want to use this opportunity to make a real difference. I’m fundraising for Youth Sport Trust, an organisation that works to remove the barriers preventing children from accessing physical activities. I was incredibly fortunate as a child, having the opportunity to try out various sports and attend numerous sports clubs. I am eternally grateful to my parents for supporting me in pursuing my passion for sport.

Knowing the immense value sport has brought to my life, it doesn't sit right with me that many children don't have the same opportunities. While I can’t change everything, I believe that even a small contribution can make a meaningful impact. That’s why, as I push myself to break this world record, I am also raising funds to help ensure that more children, regardless of their background, can experience the benefits of sport — just like I did.

Every penny raised will go directly to Youth Sport Trust, supporting their mission to make sport accessible for all. Your support would mean the world to me and to the children who will benefit from your generosity

Thank you for being part of this journey with me and I vow to give every ounce of energy I’ve got to offer to break this record
