Freddy Nock is a Swiss stuntman who braced himself to set no less than seven world records in seven days! This brave individual ended up achieving his goal.
He has risked his life for the sake of a higher cause: it was Freddy Nock's aim to raise money for a UNESCO education fund by going beyond what anyone else has ever done.
