If a bungee jump has been on your bucket list but you’re yet to take the plunge, Dubai’s Gravity Zone is giving you a reason as good as any this weekend. As part of the 24 Hour Burpee World Record attempt taking place this Friday, the Gravity Zone team will be on site giving supporters a chance to take the bungee plunge for only 100Dhs, and then donating the proceeds to the World Child Cancer foundation.

On January 9 at the Dubai Autodrome, Eva Clarke and Lee Ryan will be taking on the challenge of setting a new Guinness World Record of completing as many burpees as possible in 24 hours. Gulp.

The duo’s hopes are to raise awareness and, more importantly, funds for the World Child Cancer charity, having set a goal of raising $50,000 with the undertaking of this incredible challenge. The charity treats children in underdeveloped countries which have been diagnosed with cancer and have limited access to treatment or, where treatment isn’t possible, they provide pain relief.

Eva and Lee will be attempting to break not one, but multiple records. They will be gunning for most GWR burpees as individuals in 1 minute (Lee), 1 hour (Eva), 12 hours and 24 hours, and as a male/female duo they’re aiming for most burpees in 1min, 1hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, with the current record for the last three standing at 1,000, 5,000 and 8,000 respectively.

Both Eva and Lee are expected to aim for 15,000 burpees in the 24 hours.
