Day 20 - Please read and think.


On Thursday 7th July 2005, 56 people died in the worst terrorist attack ever to happen in London. As well as the dead, 700 people were injured. Some injuries horrific, but most that cannot be seen. Mental scarring that will never leave them and they will never be able to travel on London's historic transport system ever again.

The Tube and London means a lot to us. We travel on it a lot. Sometimes we travel round the whole system just for the fun of it. The 'Tube Challenge' community is as pissed off about the attacks as the rest of the world, and we would we would like to send out the message "We are not afraid".

On Thursday 25th August, over 55 (at the time of writing) of the Tube Challenge community will join together to unite as one in order to achieve the two following goals.

I) Charity. People often attempt to complete the whole system to raise a few pounds and pennies. This time everyone gets sponsored in aid of the bomb relief charity and we really go for it. We aim to get thousands of pounds.

II) Defiance. Solidarity. Togetherness. We are not afraid, we are all joining together to show that life goes on, if it doesn't then the terrorists win. We shall continue with Tube Challenging.


Previously we competed against each other to get the Official Guinness World Record. There will no running around on this day trying to beat each other. We shall work as one for the same goal with no record attempting.

Your support in this will be hugely appreciated. If you want details on how to sponsor me then please let me know. Read some of the personal accounts on the BBC News website if this hasn't moved you yet. Families ripped apart, people needing to recover. Please help.

Thankyou.
