A group of extreme sportsmen are going to undertake an ambitious endurance test in an effort to raise cash for Help for Heroes (H4H).<\/p>\n
Skateboarders, inline skaters and BMX riders are going to push their machines for 20 miles – the distance from Derby to Swadlincote, the Burton Mail reports.<\/p>\n
The project, From Xtreme to Extreme, is the brainchild of James Fairbrother, who hopes the challenge will boost the profile of the sports and raise money for the military charity. <\/p>\n
"I have always wanted to do something like this or skateboard-related for charity. It's a good way to get extreme sports noticed and get people involved in it," Mr Fairbrother stated.<\/p>\n
He is currently trying to get fit for the event, but because of the poor weather the team are being forced to do their training indoors.<\/p>\n
Once the temperature increases, Mr Fairbrother hopes to be able to get outside and on the streets.<\/p>\n
