Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our team roll call is as follows;  Martin Culley, Alan Culley, Mike Darracott, Paul Young, Paul Rigney, Tony McDonald, and Aiden Carney as navigator/technician/masseuse - all men of an age who should know better but keep on trying to prove things to themselves!

Why are we doing this...for those who don't know...Tom Culley (Marty's now 3 year old eldest son), was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) in October 2011 not long before his second birthday. CHICS have supported the whole family through what has been a really tough time, as they do with many (way too many) young children and families across the area. Tom has been a total inspiration and just gets on with it - as his mum Ruth and Marty say - and is so matter-of-fact about the whole thing. Tom is now almost half way through his treatment and he is doing amazingly well.  So it must mean a lot if we (and most particularly Marty) are prepared to wear tight lycra and endure some extreme chaffing.  Yes…it will be uncomfortable but we are a hardy bunch.  Marty is also under pressure as Mrs Culley (Ruth)  has raised the bar by signing up for a 1.5km sea swim in August!

So help six ageing yet committed blokes do something worthwhile - and dig deep and donate now.
