Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My good friend Frankie does fantastic work for the homeless and until I helped out one evening on a soup run I was blissfully ignorant to not only the severity of our housing situation here in the UK but also how incredibly normal, charming and intelligent (one guy could speak five languages!) those living on our streets really are. Taking time just to have a normal conversation really opens your eyes and makes you wonder how the hell did you get in this situation?! But if it can happen to them it could happen to any one of us. 
Homelessness has soared by 40% in the last five years which is shocking! That is why I'm supporting Shelter by taking on Vertical Rush 2016, London’s toughest tower running challenge. On 8 March 2016 I’ll be powering up London’s original skyscraper Tower 42, climbing a ridiculous 932 steps. 
The UK's severe housing shortage affects each and every one of us – whether we face rising house prices, unaffordable rents, or worry about where our children and grandchildren will live. Imagine losing your job, losing your home, and having no idea when you’ll find another place for your family to live. Thousands of families don’t have to imagine. So please, please, give as much as you can, so Shelter can continue their fantastic work.
