Hide AdSam Parish started Cargo Gym last year and came up with the challenge idea. He completed the full 24 hours.
Speaking before the challenge Sam said, “It seemed like a good challenge and worthwhile cause that should hopefully get people to donate more to the Samaritans due to the nature of the challenge. It should hopefully attract more eyeballs.
"We started working with the Samaritans Eastbourne last Christmas when we hosted a Santa workout – everyone dressed up as Santa and all money went to the Samaritans.
"We chose them due to the tie in between exercise and mental health and the positive impact exercise has on mental health as well as physical benefits.
