My wife Annie has advanced Frontotemporal Dementia and is in full time residential care at Elizabeth House, Scorton near Richmond. I’m raising funds for the local causes that are a great support to me and Annie, and others in need.

I will be undertaking the Triple 100 Challenge by undertaking 3 events all averaging a speed of at least 100 mph!

1. May – Driving a McLaren race car at Elvington, York

2. June – Riding the Mount Snowdon Zip Wire, Wales

3. August – Sky Diving at Peterlee Parachute Centre

The funds will be used to purchase garden furniture for Elizabeth House, and be donated to Thirsk Community Care (Befriending and Supported Shopping Projects) and my employer Vale of Mowbray's chosen charity POSCH (Parents and Carers of Special Children).
