London–based Breslauer, MD of Patron Capital Advisers LLP, has previously taken part in a number of extreme events for Royal Marines charities, including scaling the near–vertical 'Nose' route of the El Capitan granite monolith in Yosemite National Park, California. His preparation for the upcoming challenge has included the London Kayakathon on April 13, a 26.2 mile paddle of the River Thames. The cross Channel excursion is part of the Royal Marines 1664 Challenge, a series of feats to mark the Marines' 350th anniversary. The Challenge has already taken participants across Norway and to Cadiz, and St Malo, in France and finally a 1664km run from Portsmouth to London.
