Greg's pulling power

Injured veteran Greg Dunnings has smashed the Guinness world record for pulling a vehicle the furthest distance in 24 hours.

The ex-soldier, who was wounded in an IED blast while serving with the Coldstream Guards in 2009, hauled the 1.6-tonne van a total of 40 miles at Carlisle Airport – beating the previous best effort of 32 miles.

He is no stranger to endurance feats having completed previous fundraising challenges of running 100 miles, rowing for 24 hours and carrying a rowing machine over Yorkshire’s Three Peaks.

“It was a brutal challenge, but I kept moving one step at a time – for every brother and sister who needs support,” said Dunnings, who is now a firefighter with Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.

He was raising money for SSAFA, The Coldstream Guards Charity and the Fire Fighters Charity.
