Story

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO GET THIS FAR. PLEASE READ ON....

There has never been a greater need for research. Every 30 minutes, someone in Wales is diagnosed with cancer, and each week 171 families in Wales lose a loved one to cancer. Although survival rates are improving, nearly 9,000 lives are lost annually here in Wales.

Unfortunately many of us have been affected by cancer. I have lost family and friends too soon. I hope to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research Wales to enable them to continue their vital research. Please give whatever you are able and in return I promise to give everything that I have to climb each of the 5895 metres needed to summit this magnificent mountain. 

Thank you for the bottom of my heart. Jim  ♥️xxx
