Do you really love the sound of lift muzak? Are you one of those who stands still on the escalator so you can "read the adverts"? Find yourself out of breath halfway up the step ladder when you're changing that lightbulb?

Yep, us too. Unfortunately we've signed up to do Vertical Rush which means we'll be running up all 920 steps of all the 42 floors of Tower 42 (Tallest and Most Originally Named Building In London) on March 19th, in the UK's first ever tower running event. Stupid? Probably. For a worthy cause? Most definitely. If all of you who visit the page part can part with a mere credit crunch busting £2 (Sorry I didn't realise you couldn't donate a quid online) then we'll easily reach our target. Shelter does some amazing work, work that is needed now more than ever. If you're thinking of giving your losse change to the guy on the corner with the suspiciously nice clothes, shifty eyes and the promise that "Its not for drugs, honest" please don't, give it to us instead. Anything appreciated, either by hand or on the internets.

If you do donate through this site a special message will appear in the e-mail response. It won't be the name of your crush or your horoscope or anything stupid like that it is in fact quite cool. So donate a quid and find out.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shelter gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
