I'm doing 3,000 Push Ups in November for Teenage Cancer Trust

This November, I'm challenging myself to complete 3,000 push-ups in 30 days to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. That's 100 push-ups every single day!

Cancer is something that has affected both my family and my wife's family significantly. We've seen the impact it can have, not just on the person going through it, but on everyone around them. The uncertainty, the worry, the heartbreak and the strength it takes to keep going when life throws something so cruel your way.

It's something that no family should have to experience, and something that makes this cause incredibly close to my heart.

Being a teenager or young adult should be about making memories, building friendships, finding your feet and looking forward to the future. Not hospital appointments, treatments and wondering what tomorrow might bring.

Cancer doesn't care how old you are, but every young person deserves the chance to live their life.

Teenage Cancer Trust does incredible work supporting young people through some of the toughest moments imaginable, providing specialist care, understanding and support when they need it most.

I get to choose my challenge. These young people don't.

When my arms are aching and I feel like giving up, I'll remind myself of the strength it takes to face cancer, the families standing alongside their loved ones, and those we've lost along the way.

My challenge lasts 30 days. For those facing cancer, there's no such certainty.

If 3,000 push-ups and a month of aching muscles can help make even a small difference, then every single one will be worth it.

If you can spare anything at all, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.

Because nobody should have to put their life, their dreams or their future on hold because of cancer. ❤️
