My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. It is only a few weeks until the start, but ACT needs your donation now.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

I am entered in the Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race 2009 and will row my boat about 3,000  miles to the other side alone and without any assistance. As if that isn't enough, I also ran 151 miles  across the desert in the Marathon Des Sables 2009  this  March  for mental training! I've had some stupid ideas in my life, but at least this is a good one. I ended up finishing in good order and ready for this next challenge.

It will push my limits both mentally and physically. I love running and have an affinity with the sea, so the Atlantic Rowing Race is the perfect arena to achieve that goal. I also want to give back something to Shaun Mcleod Jones who gave so much to me as a great friend. These challenges will raise money for Addenbrooke's Charitable trust. The Hospital that became Shaun's “home from home” for the last thirteen years of his life. Shaun was destined for Rugby Fame but had to retire from rugby due to kidney failure, which eventually took his life five years ago.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
