A 9-year-old boy from Norden has raised over £3,000 for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Families Association (SSAFA) charity after challenging himself to 200 pogo-stick jumps a day throughout the month of March.
Jack Chadwick wanted to take on the pogo-stick challenge and raise funds for SSAFA - the UK s oldest national tri-service military charity offering lifelong support to anyone who is currently serving or has served - in memory of family friend Marisa Tomkins, who passed away in February at the age of 63.
