So, myself, Andrea and her daughter had been contemplating for a while about doing this Colour Obstacle Rush but we needed motivation. We decided that running the course for a charity was the best form of motivation to get us started.

We wanted to fund raise for a local charity, for something the affects many people but also look for the unsung heroes within charitable organisations, and that is how we came across Daft As A Brush (we also thought the name of the charity was very apt for us! ha ha ) .

Daft as a Brush Cancer Patient Care offers staffed custom-made vehicles to transport outpatients, free of charge, to and from Hospital who are undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy cancer treatment.

The regions to be covered by Daft as a Brush are: Northumberland, North and South Tyneside, Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding areas. The service entails collecting and transporting the patients in a safe and comfortable environment, from where they are living, taking them to where they will be having their treatment. If required staying with the patient whilst they have their treatment and then bringing them back home in readiness for their next course of treatment.

We hope you will support us in raising our target to help this charity continue to provide a much needed service to as many people as they can, and thank you in advance for your support.
