<div>My name is Thomas Wilson, I’m 30 years old, a proud father of three living in West Yorkshire, UK. A qualified Personal Training Practitioner and Nutrition Advisor. My driving purpose in life is to motivate people who struggle with drive, showing that with dedication and a positive mindset, any goal, no matter how small, can be achieved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>In September 2026, I will attempt a 24-hour walking world record, aiming to cover 150 miles in 24 hours; a record that has stood for 50 years.</strong> This challenge is inspired by Jesse Castañeda, who in 1976, after being paralyzed as an 8-year-old in a car accident, defied the odds and walked 142 miles in 24 hours. His doctor’s words, <strong>“follow my advice and believe. If you believe you can, you can”</strong> have stayed with me, and I hope to honor his incredible achievement while inspiring others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I have three reasons for taking on this record:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>To motivate and inspire</strong> as many people as possible, showing what can be done through dedication and a positive mindset.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>To support the children of Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital</strong>, in the hope that the funds and inspiration help one of them achieve something remarkable in their own lives.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>To honor Jesse Castañeda, proving that even against the odds, incredible feats are possible; <strong>for the children, for those fighting challenges and for everyone seeking to push their own limits.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This challenge is not just about walking 150 miles in 24 hours; it’s about demonstrating the power of perseverance and mindset. I’m currently in phase 1 of training, steadily building the endurance, mental focus and discipline needed to make this attempt a success.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve faced significant obstacles myself. Several years ago, I suffered a punctured lung and nearly died in hospital. The aftermath left me depressed and overweight. But through a determined mindset, a “can-do” attitude and sheer dedication, I lost 5 stone, transformed my health, and became a personal trainer and nutrition advisor, all to help others achieve their goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every step I take on this record attempt will be for those who need inspiration, for the children at Great Ormond Street and for anyone striving to overcome adversity. With your support, I hope to make this historic attempt a reality and prove that with mindset and determination, almost anything is possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your Donations Will:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Contribute to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital</strong>, helping children access vital care and inspiring hope for the future.
</li>
<li><strong>Cover the costs of the Guinness World Record attempt </strong>– including insurance, safety measures, support crew, and equipment.
</li>
<li><strong>Support my full-time training journey</strong>, helping me prepare safely and effectively for this historic challenge.
</li>
<li><strong>Help support my family </strong>while I reduce client hours to dedicate more time to training and the record attempt.
</li>
<li><strong>Inspire others</strong> by demonstrating the power of mindset, perseverance, and dedication in overcoming challenges.
</li>
</ul>
