Charities
I have entered all my races very much for my own personal
satisfaction. However, it would have been daft to have thrown
away the opportunity to raise some money for Charity in the
process.
Marathon des Sables 2000
With the help of both Brecon Round Table and Gower Round
Table we raised in the region of £9,000 for testicular
cancer awareness in Wales. I had prior to going to the Sahara
hoped to raise £10,000 but I now know how much that
is. I am indebted to the very generous support I have received.
I was amazed by how many families have been affected by
Testicular cancer. The number of people how sponsored me
who had either themselves, or their brother or father or
uncle etc been affected by testicular cancer was incredible.
I am no expert on this matter - but it is quite clearly obvious
that this form of cancer is far far more prevalent than I
could ever have imagined.
Iditasport 2002
Again with the help of Brecon Round Table I raised in excess
of £2000 for various local causes.
Yukon Arctic Ultra 300 - 2003
With the help of the local association, I helped raise in
excess of £3,500 for Cancer Research. This is a cause
close to my heart for personal reasons and subsequent talks
that I have done and will do in the future will be donated
to this cause.
