My story

On 6 September 2010, I will be Brains' representative on an expedition to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with 15 former Wales rugby captains, together with current national coach Warren Gatland as part of a project which aims to raise £1m for the Velindre Cancer Centre’s Stepping Stones Appeal.

The fundraising has been a team effort within Brains with a special beer, 'Up & Over', being brewed, many fundraising events at our pubs, head office sweepstakes, raffles and redundant equipment sales have all helped us reach £30k of fundraising and we're aiming to continue! The £10k raised by Thomas Arms (Llanelli) with Scott Quinnell can be found at http://www.justgiving.com/captainquinnell

The Brains SA Captains Climb is the brainchild of national team sports photographer Huw Evans whose family has recently been affected by lung cancer - the disease for which the Stepping Stones Appeal provides research funding.
