In May of 2025 myself and my family lost our gorgeous baby girl, Amber. A pain that is almost unbearable.

We want to turn our heartache and pain into something positive, for Amber and also to make a difference going forward.

Myself and my brother (and a few friends joining along the way) are doing The 10-Y-Fan challenge in May of 2026 (Pen Y Fan 10 times in 24 hours) as a way of raising money towards research that will go towards preventing and curing animal cancer.

All of the money raised will specifically go towards research into Hemangiosarcoma. A cardiac tumour which is an aggressive form of cancer that develops from blood vessels. From the first symptom Amber presented to the day she passed, was a month. A single month. This cancer is horrendous and needs to be stopped.

This research can also help towards preventing / curing cancer in humans too. Far too many people are affected by this horrendous disease and the more research that goes into it, the better.

University of Edinburgh is a registered charity whose impact and reach extends far beyond the education of the body.

With expertise in medicine, the sciences and humanities, and centres investigating everything from major brain disorders to inclusion and diversity; the University can be an effective and powerful force for advancement and change with a truly global reach.

Like all charities they rely on donations to go towards their thorough research.
