A window cleaner is taking part in a gruelling physical challenge to raise money for a charity that works with disabled children.
Caleb Morley, 26, of Lions of London, is taking part in the Tough Guy competition to raise funds for Yadapa (Young and Disabled and Positively Artistic).
He will crawl through barbed wire, dart through fire and splash through freezing water, along with thousands of other competitors.
Mr Morley, who lives in New Malden but trains at a small gym in Epsom, searched online for children’s disability charities in Kingston and found Yadapa, which runs after-school events and weekend activities.
He said: “I’m very hot on local issues. I was just searching the net trying to find somebody in Kingston do so something with disabled children.
“I love football and rugby and it breaks my heart when people are unable to do something.
“I’m excited. There’s no question of not completing the race. I’ve got to do it.”
The charity has been looking for a home, with space and a disabled loo, since the council closed the Crescent and Causeway centres in New Malden last September.
The Nettle Warrior Tough Guy competition takes place on July 15 in Wolverhampton.
