Now for the biggy…
In September I will be taking on the London Landmarks Skyscraper Challenge. This will include running up 42 flights of stairs in the Cheese Grater. As someone from the flatlands of Norfolk this will be quite a test and will mean a pretty full on 13-week training regime.
But that’s not the real test once I’ve scaled the 1000+ stairs I will then go back down, but this time by abseiling down the side one of London’s tallest skyscrapers descending 200 meters in total! Again not great as I’m not that great with heights!
Why am I doing this… good question! I am doing this all to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK. I lost the last years of two of my grandparent's lives to Alzheimer's/dementia it was horrible to see them not themselves and the thought of me, my fiancée and/or our parents going through the same thing terrifies me. Close friends of mine also lost their mum to early-onset Alzheimer’s this year, it is a horrible disease and we have to do all we can to win the battle against it.
If raising money means even the slimmest chance of stopping others from going through this, then it will be more than worthwhile.
I’m setting a pretty punchy goal of £1500 (including previous donations) so I desperately need your help!
Where possible also please tick gift-aid, as long as you can say yes to all the questions it will mean 25% more money for the cause!
