A bit of info on the guys (From Left to Right in photo):
Adrian Roberts: Adrian is a keen outdoor sportsman, when not fishing he can be found hunting moose around Merthyr town centre. Adrian is also an... enthusiastic footballer and dodgeballer. At home he's never happier than when wearing flip flops and cooking on a BBQ, just don't ask us to eat any of it!
Bradley Edwards: Brad is looking forward to being included in an event after years of watching his friends on funfair rides, always unable to join in as he missed the "You must be this height sign" by 2 inches. In seriousness he is a keen charity worker having completed Sport Relief 2008 (6 miles), 1 Cardiff Half Marathon and a Bike Ride in the past.
Andrew Driscoll: Andrew will be lucky to make it past the first day without either his asthma killing him or his diabetes crippling him. However his stamina can shock for a fat lad as he has completed Sport Relief 2008 (6 miles), 1 Cardiff Half Marathon and 2 Swansea Bay 10ks in the last 2 years as well as participating in the last 4 Welsh Open dodgeball tournaments.
Philip Thomas: If Phils passion for fundraising comes even close to his passion for food then this should be an extremely successful venture! Phil is the mastermind behind this particular team and is a keen footballer, cricketer and dodgeballer making him, in theory, the fittest member.
Just added £220 raised on our very first ever quiz high in the Horse and Groom, Merthyr Tydfil. Thanks to all who came and the companies/individuals who donated towards our (rather good) raffle!!
Extra! Just added a promised donation of £150 from Admiral Insurance (where Andrew works) very generous!
We are aiming to raise a minimum of £1000 for this very worthwhile cause. Please help us to make a difference!
