    Congrats to the young Lady. The Male record is currently 5 Hrs, 15 min, 15 seconds...

    I couldn't even do 8 minutes, much less the 80 that was done for this record - 10/22/2015 8:07:07 PM

    While truly commendable and no ordinary feat, the world record is much longer - 2 hr 12 min for female and 4 hr 26 min for male. Not to take anything away from this girl, but reporters owe the public some research before printing completely inaccurate claims. - 4/30/2015 12:31:16 PM

    An inspirational young lady. Congratulations to her for setting a goal of fundraising for a worthy cause. Her parents raised a beautiful soul for wanting to give back. Bravo! - 12/15/2014 9:39:55 AM

    What a fantastic feat! That young lady is awesome. Hope she gets on ELLEN. BTW The interviewer did a great job also holding her plank over 2 minutes. 2 minutes is tough! - 5/10/2014 11:49:18 AM

    Nice kid! Doing that for the Childrens Hospital is a great deed! I am so used to hearing about kids doing bad stuff that it is refreshing to hear about another one doing something good. - 4/25/2014 6:23:44 AM
