Mark Bailey, a Reservist with 116 Provost Company, Royal Military Police, and a Cadet Instructor for the CCF, is pushing his body to the absolute limit to highlight the importance of cadet training in building future leaders.
Mark's record attempts are:
- Most burpees in one minute
- Most chest-to-floor burpees in one minute
- Fastest mile of burpee broad jumps
“This challenge is about more than breaking records; it’s about showing young people that with discipline, mental toughness, and perseverance, they can achieve the impossible,” said Mark.
The CCFA provides young cadets across the UK, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, with life-changing opportunities. Funds raised will go towards leadership training, adventure camps, and essential equipment to ensure more young people benefit from the programme.
“I’ve seen first-hand how cadet training transforms lives, and I want to make sure more young people get these opportunities,” Mark added.
