too ambitious?

im thinking about joining this.

its basically:

"Do you have what it takes to complete London’s very first Twin Peak Challenge?

935 feet, 67 floors, 1512 steps - compete individually or in teams of four, be the fastest to ascend the never ending staircases of two of London’s most iconic buildings in succession, The Broadgate Tower and CityPoint and help Action Against Hunger raise over £50,000 to fight hunger and malnutrition.

Individual Entry: £35- target fundraise £200
Team Entry:£120 - target fundraise £800 (4 participants)"



and no, i wasnt planning on racing with the rest, i just wanna see if i can actually accomplish this. but as my attempts to jog have proven, im terribly unfit. so if i go just to eat everyone else's dust, that will just be sad. T_T

reasons i should go:
1. its gonna be on the 23rd of may, and i dont have any exams around that time.
2. its for a worthy cause/ i'll be doing something worthwhile / get to help people (indirectly)
3. how many opportunities will i have to even enter these buildings?
4. "Following this ultimate urban physical challenge, participants will be escorted to a dedicated floor in The Broadgate Tower, where they can enjoy a 360 degree panorama of London’s famous skyline whilst stretching out tired limbs, enjoying complimentary sports massages and indulge in some well earned refreshments."
5. to challenge myself

reasons i should not go:
1. this is overly ambitious for my current physical state
2. there is a target £200 to raise
3. im most likely going alone
4. will quite definitely memalukan diri

so how?

ok, i know. if i get more than 5 comments from different ppl urging me to join this, then i'll join. those ppl must also pledge to donate to my cause (must be more than £1)!. muahaha~~~

either that, or a single comment from anyone willing to join me in this :D

omg, this is gonna be so sad if not a single person comments T_T
