No Alcohol for 5months! · 22 December 2012

It’s unacceptable that more than half of people diagnosed with the deadliest common cancer die within three months. That’s why they need and deserve more. More research, more funding, more breakthroughs. More than hope. Together we’ll make that possible.

Story

Myself & Clive Weston, with support of Sarah Stewart, cycled 3 ascents & descents of the mountain Mont Ventoux, France. We had very unfavourable weather conditions, with rain & low cloud all day! It was 1deg at the top of each climb and only breifly up to 12deg at the bottom one of the descents! We had to stamp our card at the top & bottom of each climb. Clive and I survived the very cold downhill temperatures to cope with the 3 long uphill climbs to complete all in 7.5hrs!

Myself and Jon Grundy have completed an epic swim of 42.2km in open water (with wetsuits). We chose Lake Windermere as our venue (living close to the lake district), and required us to swim 2.5lengths of the lake. I had chosen a marathon, as my final challenge is a marathon running with my dad.

I decided to attempt 5 Challenges in the year of 2013 to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer.  My Dad is a survivor and is very active with the charity, so it is time for me to help. My first Challenge is one which has sparked this fund raising campaign. 

Challenges 1 & 2 are more personal challenges for fun as everybody laughed when I told them my thoughts! 

Challenge 3 - Swimming 26.2miles in open water continuous (wetsuit) - 28th SEPTEMBER - COMPLETED

Challenge 2 - to be silent, yes me! No talking out loud for 5days mm!! Tanja FM will be turned off! - COMPLETED

Challenge 1. No alcohol for 5months - COMPLETED

Challenge 4 - On my bike with Clive Weston, climb all 3 sides of Mont Ventoux in 1 day - 15th October - COMPLETED

Challenge 5 - Cologne Marathon September 2014 with my father, Pancreatic Survivor

Please donate to help gain more awareness to this cancer killer.
