Welcome to our Year of Madness Sponsorship page.

As some of you will be aware, myself and John will be aiming to complete twelve challenges between October 2011 and October 2012.

One of the charities we are raising money for is Macmillan Cancer Support. My Dad died from cancer after a long battle in January 2006. The support he and our family recieved from our Macmillan Nurse really helped us all keep going through such a horrific time.

For more information on why we are doing this, please visit:
