Story

Hi guys!

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page.

Inspired by the loss of a wonderful grandmother to breast cancer I am attempting to stretch my lungs to complete as many endurance challenges throughout my life as possible, helping to raise funds in the fight against this terrible disease. It is a challenge and has so far allowed me to set 11 world records and I am absolutely intent on plodding on for this brilliant cause till my legs completely give up on me :)

Every penny raised will be donated to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, supporting their incredible and life saving work through research, campaigning and education. 

Please donate as much or as little as you can afford, every penny really does take us that tiny step closer to a future free from breast cancer.

Thank you so much,

Dave x
