MOST of us would struggle to do 10 press ups, let along 100 - but that's exactly what 80-year-old Paul Youd is planning to do...in just one minute.

Mr Youd hopes to hit the target at the YMCA, in Taunton, next Tuesday (October 31).

And he's appealing for people to go along at 1.30pm and join him in the warm-up half an hour before he sets about the challenge.

He hopes to raise £1,000 for the YMCA and Taunton Association for the Homeless (TAH) and supporters can sponsor him on his Just Giving page.

Mr Youd, who helps out at the YMCA and offers baking classes at TAH, managed 1,175 press-ups in an hour in another sponsored event at the YMCA in July last year - when he was a mere 78-year-old.
