“I decided to break this record because nobody has done this before, not from sea level anyway,” Greasley told Guinness World Records. “I wanted to raise money for suicide prevention, so I figured I would combine these two goals into one major goal. We were nearing the end of COVID-19 and I was having a lot of mental problems and issues, which is why this charity is very close to my heart.
”Kudos to him for raising money for suicide prevention and being honest about mental health issues. Also, let’s give him a pat on the back for setting a World Record for something not many of us knew existed.
