Alastair Galpin
took to world record-breaking in 2004 after being inspired by a record-setting rally driver in Kenya. What began as a hobby soon escalated into an active publicity pursuit. Today, from his base in Auckland, New Zealand, he promotes the work of social and environmental causes. For these purposes, the most fitting game plans are chosen; then world titles are attempted and frequently created.

Behind every world record attempt Their success underpins mine. |
| They are listed here |
As an independent world record breaker, my objectives are to assist environmental and community organisations – primarily in developing countries – communicate their messages.
Attempting world records is not only rewarding, it's an excellent way to draw attention. History has proven that those who dare to differ, frequently command interest. When applied to my world record-breaking, this view largely explains generally high levels of media response – particularly in north America, western Europe and parts of Australasia.
I am able to guide clients in choosing a world record attempt of relevance to their cause, by drawing on several world record systems. Whether you are engaged at the front line of environmental protection or in community improvement, attempting a world record can bring widespread exposure to what you do.

Youngsters – especially children aged 8 to 16 – love learning about world record breakers.
My seven years of world record adventures have included the exhilarating, the crestfallen, and everything in between. My appearances encourage children to be their best, and stimulate their imaginations positively. Let me entertain you. And if you think you've got what it takes to break specific world records, you'll have a chance to show your skills in front of everyone.

I have started up a Facebook page to provide the latest news.
Share your thoughts on world record breaking and donate to help sponsor further world record attempts which are in the pipeline. This will allow you to contribute to a tremendously high-impact means of promoting good causes that simply don't have the resources themselves, helping to raise effective public awareness for issues like urban poverty in developed nations, the slaughter of tropical mammals for trade, for Down Syndrome children, and lawless destruction in national parks.
