How does an average guy get famous? Ask my new Tamil Sri Lankan brother, Suresh Joachim, who should be known as the Guinness KING. Suresh who now lives in Mississauga Ontario, dropped by Canada from his whirl wind journey and I had a chance to chat with him. Since 1996, Suresh broke over 30 World Records around the world in many categories AND none of them are NOT broken by ANYONE! WOW! His first record was 1000 consecutive hours of running. Holy Smokes! I can barely run for 15 minutes without losing my breath! Suresh has been traveling around the world performing much different type of world records. He told me that he was even a guest on Regis and Kelly. He drummed continuously for 84 hours in Switzerland; ran on a treadmill for 168 hours to cover 659.27km in France; bowled for 100hrs in our very own country, Canada. He also carried a 4.5 kg brick in a nominated ungloved hand in an un cradled downward position for 126.675km in Australia. Suresh told me that his main goal is to hold records in many different categories and also holds the record for most recent records, which he will soon accomplish. His ultimate goal is to break 150 world records in 8 years!
The most remarkable demonstration of Suresh’s commitment was when he made a huge impact by completing the World Peace Marathonin, in which he helped raise a whole lot of money for the suffering children with the UFFORSC. The Universal Fund for Suffering Children is a charity, of which Suresh is the Secretary General. The object of Ufforsc is to help the needy children around the world by providing with basic needs such as food, shelter, education and medicine. He began his journey on December 25, 2007 in Jerusalem and finished on June 24, 2008 in Sydney Australia. During his voyage, Suresh travelled through 88 major cities, in 54 countries passing a symbolic peace torch to dignitaries in each place. The journey will end with the peace torch being handed over to the leader of the country followed by a huge musical celebration. Suresh traveled over 6,000 KM, taking him a total of 182 days.
Suresh Joachim, is not just any man. He is a real life super hero who uses his drive, gifts and talents to make a positive change to the world! That is why Mr. Suresh Joachim is our Crazy Mofo of the Year!
