*Week commencing Monday 24th of August 2015*

Near the end of 2014, my girlfriend Katy's grandfather, Ray Williams, passed away. Ray was a wonderful and inspring individual, who dedicated almost four decades to the national and indeed worldwide development of Rugby Union. Widely acclaimed as a 'pioneer', and a 'coaching colossus' in the rugby world, Ray received the highest honour in world rugby when he recieved the Vernon Pugh award from the IRB in November 2014 - the first Welshman to ever receive the award. In his later years, Ray was a Senior Ambassador for Prostate Cymru, and was a founding member of the Pembrokeshire Friends of Prostate Cymru. This brings me nicely on to my 'Run for Ray' challenge.

Soon after Ray's passing, I decided to take on a challenge to raise important funds and awareness to help fight Wales' most common cause of cancer in Welsh men.

Run for Ray is a 186 mile run over 7 days across the entire Pembrokeshire Coastal path, from St Dogmaels in the far north of the county to Amroth is the south east of the county. In terms of ascent and descents, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest.

I will be running the path in various stages of the week, ending the run in Little Haven.

Pembrokeshire is a truly beautiful place and I cannot think of a better way of seeing the county we live in, and hopefully hitting my target of £2000 for Prostate Cymru.

I invite everyone to join me in Run for Ray, whther you want to run 100 metres, 1 mile, 10 miles, or 100!
