WORLD RECORD
The latest news is that Herol Bomber Graham is is training for his attempt at the world record for non stop skipping which stands at the moment 30 hours.

His last record attempt was 24 hours.

He has designed a new skipping rope made from wire which will give him more speed and control during the marathon.

The World Marathon Skipping Record currently stands at 27 hours and was set back in 2003 in Australia. Herol, who last year completed a 24 hour skipping marathon, will attempt to smash this record and he’s enlisted a team of experts from Sheffield Hallam University’s Centre for Sports and Exercise Science to help him do it.

Herol said: “I care a lot about the Children’s Hospital and fundraising for the charity. As I always say, children are our future and we should give them all the help we can.

“I am keen to raise as much money as possible for a fantastic cause and want to encourage people to come down to support me and cheer me on during my record attempt. You can even have a go at skipping yourself if you want!”

The challenge itself will take place at the Sheffield International Venues (SIV) managed Ponds Forge, on 8 and 9 May, when Herol will be joined by skipping 'buddies', which will include local children and some local celebrity friends.

Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity
