Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Clarke, ten, is currently looking for other people to join him in the 12-hour martial arts event, reports the Bury Free Press.<\/p>\n<p>He loves getting involved in sporting contests and has taken part in the Barrow Challenge several times in order to raise funds for charities.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The military stand up for our country and if they have been disabled or wounded that's not right, so if I can raise some money to help them, that's what I want to do.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>People who want to get involved do not have to stick it out for the full 12 hours, as he is keen for participants even for just a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does a lack of karate experience matter, as Christopher's instructor Glen Moulds is set to be on hand to offer advice and tuition.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801686349-ADNFCR\"
