Alex Welford has challenged himself to complete 100,000 press-ups to raise money for the MS Society.

A man is attempting to do 300 press-ups every day for a year in memory of his mother, who had multiple sclerosis and died in May.

Mr Welford said his mum's condition worsened about five years ago, when she began losing the ability to speak. “ definitely raises your resilience because you’re having to crack on with it because there’s not really much else as an option,” he said.“I think the last five or six years really resonated with that, where I think we finally won in our bid to keep her safe, but she lost in her battle for independence.”Affecting the brain and the spinal cord, multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that can cause a wide range of potential symptoms.

Taking up to an hour to complete the workout, Mr Welford has so far completed the exercise on the side of the road in Tunisia, in hostels, in airports, on a train to London and on an easyJet plane.
