Story

Our last trek was in Patagonia, and it was a tough challenge, but ultimately it was very rewarding - as a group we raised over half a million pounds and had a ball.  A hard ball, but a ball is a ball, that’s what I always say. There were over 60 of us, including Shane Williams, 2 Manic Street Preachers and Derek the Weather – the camaraderie was exceptional, and helped carry everyone (sometimes literally) through some difficult days trekking through jungle, snow and rivers.

This new 5 days trek looks equally tricky, especially as some of it will be at altitude, and I know from struggling to the top of Kilimanjaro how tough that makes things.

Don’t be put off though. If I can do it, anyone can.

This will be my third trek for Velindre Cancer Centre, where I’m proud to be a Patron. I’ve seen at first hand the incredible care and support they provide to cancer patients and their families dealing with very difficult times – I’ll be very grateful for any support you can give, thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
