Polar Icecap in Greenland. This was my first marathon and proved to be an amazing experience. I managed to come 8th out of 97 runners and was the first Brit to cross the line. I was privileged to support two great charities, Cancer Research UK and Help for Heroes) and surpassed my fundraising target of £10,000. Many thanks for your support.

“As he undertakes the Polar Circle Marathon to raise funds for Cancer Research UK, I am full of admiration for David Mott.  As the leading independent cancer research organisation outside North America, Cancer Research UK relies totally on the generosity of the British public to fund its work.  Rarely has the outlook for cancer research been more exciting than it is today.  

If David’s stamina matches his ability as an investment professional, I have every confidence he will do extremely well.  We wish David every success and are enormously grateful for all sponsorship donations he raises from friends and supporters."
