10-year-old Judah Peake completes 1,000 press-ups in a month, raising £2,500

Judah Peake, a 10-year-old from Macclesfield, completed a 1,000 press-up fitness challenge in one month and raised more than £2,500 for Tearfund, the international aid and development charity. His sponsored press-up challenge shows how child fundraisers can turn a personal fitness goal into practical charity support, proving that age is no barrier to making a charitable impact. The money supports people affected by disaster, conflict and extreme poverty around the world. The challenge combined fitness training, family encouragement and global giving within a single month. Anyone who would like to support his fundraising can donate online through his JustGiving page. His achievement has also drawn attention to the role young people can play in raising awareness and mobilising support for humanitarian causes.
