A man from Bury St Edmunds will be challenging himself in a gruelling fashion by completing 12 fundraisers in 12 months.

Josh Wright is fundraising for the My WiSH Butterfly, a charity that helps terminally ill people spend the last moments of their life in peace with loved ones.

The customer service manager has previously run 13 half marathons in 13 days, raising more than £1,500, though this year he will be completing a fundraising effort just over every four weeks.

The plan came about when he began writing down what he already wanted to do for 2022, he said: "A few of them were stuff I kind of had planned, like the nuclear race.

"I was looking at it, filled in the blanks and thought there's a good year's worth of stuff there if I put my mind to it."

So he decided to fill out the whole calendar with events, some being more challenging than others.

"I'm dreading the swim because I'm a pants swimmer." Josh added. "The other stuff, even though I'm dreading it, I'm kind of confident with a lot of it."

The 24 hour gaming marathon will be "a holiday", while the double marathon will probably be the hardest.

Josh said: "There's doing one and then there's doing one and waking up the next day, crying, and doing it all again."

The first fundraising effort will begin on the last weekend of the month, January 29 and 30.
