In his latest quest, Graham sat in a bathtub full of slime at the Co-operative in Worle High Stree for 30 hours.
He split the challenge up into two 15-hour sessions, to coincide with the store opening times.
The avid fundraiser collected £666 across the two days of his challenge, with the help of his mum Sandra.
