A pub challenge has been taken so seriously even a wife in labour did not hinder the endeavour.

Alex Smith, from Cobham, challenged Rob Tudor, 39, from Apsley, Hertfordshire, to complete 67,000 push-ups for Harrison's Fund, a charity set up for Mr Smith's son, Harrison, eight, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Mr Tudor has stuck to the challenge, even when "my wife as she was in labour in the hospital".

Mr Smith said: "Aside from some soreness in his shoulders and wrists, Rob is doing brilliantly. He only has another 27,000 plus to go."

They hope to raise £500 for charity, to donate visit justgiving.com/rob-tudor-pressup.
