Story

On 6th 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 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.

After seeing the Didgeridoo played on American Idol I realised that if I could learn how to play it properly then it may help me reduce my breathlessness when walking uphill. I don't know why I always pant my way up a mountain and I don't truly know whether playing the didge will help but I'm willing to give it a go for charity.  

My plan:

1. Learn how to circular breath and play the Digeridoo continuously.

2. If I fail I will wash the cars of 5 Brains employees (who I'm sure will be happy to watch me hard at work)

3. I need good sponsorship from you to inspire me to keep me going :oP

Please sponsor me any amount that you can afford – it’s quick, easy and totally secure.
