Army Instructor's Marathon & Burpee Challenge for Cancer Support

Jake Scott, an army physical training instructor from Edinburgh, is embarking on a grueling challenge to honor his late grandmother and raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Hes set to run his first marathon in his hometown and follow it up with a ten thousand burpee challenge, all while live-streaming the event on Instagram. The burpee count increases with every minute he goes over three hours in the marathon, and the total is multiplied by his fundraising amount, capping at ten thousand if he reaches his goal. Jake, who already does a couple hundred burpees weekly, plans to complete the challenge over two long stints across forty-eight hours. This personal mission is inspired by his familys experience with cancer and his desire to give back to Macmillan, which supported them during a difficult time.
