'I think we can all agree, Branson does not need any more Shelter.'

As a athlete and consulting personal trainer I hold 5 World records from running the 400 m, 1 mile, 5000 m, 10000 m and half marathon, with carrying a 40lb's pack, the recognised Guinness World record weight, based upon carrying military assault weight, into battle. In 2013 the BBC endorsed me the World's Fittest Man, from the combination of holding all the World Records from sprinting to marathon at once with the weight. No other athlete, has ever had this diversity across the fitness spectrum, in any sport or fitness display. With alsorts of challenges and conditioning over the last 20 years, with perhaps a comparable off running up Mt Snowden with 40lb's in under 90 minutes, though It wont be as Intense as Tower 42.

I know the 42 levels of pain approaching, will be very high, which I feel provides me with a potential, very short, Intense comparable, of a kind of pain, some people maybe facing on the London Streets.  One of my favourite type of fitness, is military training. I realised this in the Marines, when I found my natural talent with running with weight on my back. A bergan (pack), is a home to me, a military thing. For example, it was luxury to pull your sleeping bag out of your bergan for 30 minutes, never mind a tent, It's your house on your back, Marines can carry alsorts to fight and survive, whatever the weight. The challenges concept, is a personal motivator, to help more people get shelter, when we all mostly live in our palaces and take so many simple pleasures for granted.

I have moved to London in the last 6 months (a little different from my relaxed roots, of Cheshire towns,  Crewe and Nantwich and have been pondering on a worthy challenge for a while, a little challenging in itself, since Ive done so many. The Vertical Rush challenge, to run to the highest tower available, in the UK with the weight, will help the charity get more press and funds, with your help and has solidified my focus for quality training in this mad busy city, for a purpose to do some good.

All I want to do is raise a pack of money for Shelter and get up tower 42, running as fast as possible, with the weight. My physical preparation is worthy for a very good time, compared to people without the weight.

Vertical Rush is in it’s 8th year and they are hoping to raise more than £365,000 this year. With 1200 expected runners it’s they're biggest yet. Vertical Rush is also Shelter’s flagship fundraising event of the year. Ill be running at 1030 amongst the celebrities, to see how many I can pass with the extra load. Shelter tell me no one as ever ran up their event as a soldier with there kit. I  think that Shelter, hosting there event, in one of the most richest financial sectors in the World, Ironically for the homeless, deserve to get better financially blessed with the Institutions In and around tower 42.
