Another exciting task for GoodGym Newcastle as we supported Tiny Lives and Grace House in a world-record-breaking event!

An amazing team of people are working to beat several tire-flipping world records across the course of this weekend, all in aid of two brilliant charities.

Tanya, Jenny and Katy were there to support the start of the events, with the first one kicking off at 10:00am. On the claxon, a team of 6 began flipping a 110kg tire up and down Blackett Street and they'd be aiming to complete 10km or more in distance over the course of the next 12 hours.

Seriously impressive!

Jenny and Katy were called in to officially adjudicate the weighing of the tire, then Tanya, Jenny and Katy, along with other Tiny Lives volunteers, were tallying each round of 50m and checking meticulously that the tire was flipped over the line each time. After only 43 minutes, the team had flipped the tire 1km, and then completed 2.6km by the time the first 2 hours was up. AMAZING!

Also on this weekend are tire flipping relays, 1hour sessions and speed sessions for 20m flipping, where the public were invited to give it a go for a small donation, in the hopes they could find their name in the Guinness Book of Records very soon! Tiny Lives and Grace House are truly inspiring local charities. Tiny Lives supports premature babies in need of special care at the RVI, while Grace House supports the lives of disabled children and their families in Sunderland.

We're looking forward to working with these charities again and also with the world-record breakers luck!
