why nhs charities?
The NHS gave me a second chance at life. After major surgery for Crohn's disease in 2024, I wouldn't be here without the doctors, nurses and surgeons who cared for me.
Every kilogram lifted is a thank you to them, while raising vital funds for NHS Charities Together.
Why 1 Million Kg?
Some records are broken by a fraction. This one requires redefining what's possible. One Million Kg is an attempt to set a new benchmark for human endurance—where success depends not on a single extraordinary lift, but on thousands of ordinary ones performed without compromise.
why a world record?
World records exist to redefine what's possible. After more than 20 years in strength training and coaching, this is the biggest challenge I've ever undertaken. My goal is to surpass the current 12 and 24-hour deadlift world records, while using the platform to raise awareness for Crohn's disease and vital funds for NHS Charities Together.
