We did it!!!

A very tired and sore Jim, Tamsin, Glen, Laura and Crys all made it up the 920 steps of Tower 42, with a combined time of 43 minutes 8 seconds.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored us or took part in our pub quiz and 'guess the time' competition, by the day of the event we had raised an incredible £1,328 for Shelter.

There's still chance to increase that total - this page will continue accepting donations for another few weeks. It would be great if you could make a contribution so that Shelter can do even more of its vital work tackling bad housing and homelessness.

Even better, why don't you take part in Vertical Rush next year? For all the hard work, the rewards are worth it. You won't get a more satisfying view of London in your life! www.shelter.org.uk/verticalrush
