Hi,

I started fundraising a number of years ago in memory of my late dad and my brother andrew who died from a genetic condition haemachromatosis that i also will develop and my mum Judy who died of a heart attack cause by cancer in 2007.

**Gus running in 2008 New York Marathon**

This my fundraising page for Bombay Duck 2008. 

**The Cycle ride has been postponed until next year, when the support veichle broke down on the way down on the way to John O Groats.  Since last year the rowing and cycling on the ferry mainly by Gus but including others has raised over £19,000 this also includes other charity runs.  Alaisdair's sail around Britain so far has raised over £350 and Gus is continuing into next year so please dig deep and support these fantastic charities**

Row distance of Southampton to New York (5503.03km) On concept2 rowing machine (1st Jan to 9th August) (Gus)
