Story

Peter Bragg's charity 'Aid 4 Orphans' may not have the media-muscle of Pudsey Bear or Bob Geldof behind it but here is a cause that really deserves support. 

Like me, Peter runs his own catering equipment business but the difference is that he somehow manages to put all his spare time into running 'Aid 4 Orphans'. He has a big heart and does everything in his power to pull vulnerable children out of desperate circumstances, putting them back on the road to emotional stability with love and companionship and providing an education to better their futures. 

I could never be up to such a commitment - all I can hope to do is help by catching your attention and raise a little of the crucial money which keeps Peter's projects alive.

23.04.16 The Tour of Pembroke 100 is bit of a beast, even for seasoned sportive riders. I did the 75 last year and it was the hardest thing my legs had ever done. This year we're going up a notch! Rumoured to actually be 117 miles (despite 102.6 miles 'officially') and with 10,379 feet of ascent I can feel it churning my stomach a bit already

11.06.16 The Diga di Luzzone is a dam in the heart of Switzerland. It is home to the highest climbing wall in the world at 545ft tall, a line of artificial holds arching up the centre of the face. I will be dusting off my rockboots to lead all 5 pitches, which become increasingly steep and exposed. The top 2 pitches slightly overhang. Seconding this dizzying challenge is fellow rockstar Joanne McKinstry. A fun day out for all the family.............(?)

Myself, Peter and all of the many children he helps in Kenya would smile the biggest of smiles if you could help.
