A software engineer has completed his year-long challenge of doing 300 press-ups every day in memory of his mother who had multiple sclerosis (MS), raising more than £10,000 for charity.

Alex Welford, 25, from Bristol, set a goal to complete 100,000 press-ups across the year to raise money for the MS Society, a charity focusing on increasing research into the disease and offering support for those who live with the condition.
