A tough challenge for you today.

How many press-ups can you do in 40 minutes?

Ask people to sponsor you 1p per push-up and see how much you can raise. Feel free to ask for more per press-up if you wish. Just make sure you get someone to count so you can verify your total.

Once you’ve completed your challenge post your total in the comments section below and challenge your mates to beat you.

If you prefer, you can make an event out of the challenge and ask your mates or gym buddies to do their press-ups at the same time.

You can set up a fundraising page via this link.

Good luck!
