A thrill-seeker has raised £55,000 for charity after taking on a series of extreme challenges.

Jack Jenkins, from Potters Resorts, took on numerous tests of endurance and courage over the past year to raise funds for Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS).

His challenges included taking a North Sea survival course, a swim in the sea on New Year's Day, the Maldon Mud Race, a 56-mile bike ride from London to Brighton, a 30-hour race across Europe, and even a wing walk.

The money raised will help fund a new community first response car, an all-terrain vehicle, and a state-of-the-art blood analysis tool.

Mr Jenkins said: “It’s been an incredible experience.

"I wanted to do something big for charity before my 30th, and NARS is such a great example of people giving up their spare time to help others.

"I’m so proud of these achievements, the challenges were unforgettable, but mostly, I’ll remember the unbelievable generosity of our guests, and of course, my colleagues who have helped raise these vital funds.”

NARS has been responding to critical emergencies in ‘blackspots’ across the county for more than 50 years.

Chris Neil, one of the team’s critical care paramedics, said: “First and foremost, without these vehicles, it is simply not possible for us to respond as we do.
