Story

Disney RM, is a former Royal Marine Commando, elite fitness enthusiast and global adventurer, often described by those that know him as "A highly enthusiastic character that pushes the limits of life and adventure", "Ready for any challenge" and "One of those people that make you feel sane".

A truly unique character retaining his Bootneck spirit by diving straight into a number of intense fitness challenges throughout 2020, with the intention of inspiring others, bettering himself and most important of all, raising funds for good causes. Forever positive and constantly striving for bigger and better challenges, Disney will document and publish all of his fitness goals and challenges for people to follow and support. He will also be inspiring others to set their own challenges no matter how big or small and will provide help and guidance to anybody that wishes to get involved, for further details on this go to his page @LordDisneyRM on Facebook.

People think Olympus Mons on Mars is the highest mountain, it is not really true. The highest peak in the Solar System is 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀 at 22.5 km (14.0 mi), nearly 3 times the highest of Everest!

Its 529km (329 miles) diameter makes up 89% of ‘4 Vesta’, the second-largest asteroid in the solar system that orbits our Sun.

It is named after Rhea Silvia, a mythological mother of the founders of Rome and is believed to be an impact crater that excavated 1% of its volume & is one of the largest in the solar system.

Rheasilvia’s formation dates back to over 1 billion years ago & would also be the origin of the HED meteorites.

I plan on 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 it’s height over a 1 meter double-sided 5 steps high mound in the front garden wearing & carrying 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗿, as unfortunately, I don’t have a 🧑🏼‍🚀 spacesuit to hand. I envision this will take 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝟴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 of near-constant climbing up & down.

This will start Easter Sunday - 12 April 2020, while it’s being filmed & Live Steamed on my facebook.com/DisneyRM page.

This challenge I will undertake will hopefully raise money for PPE & other required equipment for NHS workers through the Covid-19 Urgent Appeal that I have chosen due to the times we all find ourselves in right now globally. While this is the primary focus of my challenge, it should be mentioned that there are many other front line workers out there doing an outstanding job; supermarket staff, delivery workers, MoD, Police, Firefighters to name a few.
