A father of two is hoping to raise £50,000 and set a world record by pushing a car the length of a marathon course.
Adrian Kane will be undertaking the challenge to raise money for a cancer research charity after his mother Eileen died from the disease earlier this year.
Mr Kane, 35, has been doing 1,500 squats in his fitness sessions in preparation for the marathon-sized course.
On July 31 the tax adviser from Woking is planning to push a Smart car 26.2 miles in 24 hours.
He will be supported by wife Nikki, 36, and children Darcy, two, and Harriet, nine months.
Mr Kane will give money raised to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the Stroke Association.
Mr Kane has always been fit and enjoys football, rugby and cricket.
“I’ve run a couple of marathons so I knew with some training that I could do it,” he said.
“I also had surgery on my knee last year to replace my anterior cruciate ligament, so this was another way to get back into shape.
“Training is incredibly hard, especially fitting in around a career and a young family. I’ve been doing a lot of squats, about 1,500 a session, and a fair amount of running.”
The current world record for how far a car has been pushed in one day is set at 17.06 miles
