16. Raise £1600 for brain tumour research! - Target Now: 2 x £1600 = £3200!
I aim to complete all events safely (with professionals where applicable), in the shortest amount of time possible, in the shortest number of days possible!
Some challenges are weather dependent so they may have to be altered or changed - the long-list also includes: flying, abseiling, sailing, wakeboarding, driving and possibly even stand-up comedy! The short-list will be updated accordingly.
All costs associated with the challenges will be met from my own pocket and not from charitable contributions. However I am very grateful for the time and services already volunteered for free.
My grandad, Colin Morath, died from a brain tumour when I was only five - he was an adventurer who relished challenge, climbing mountains, ski exploring, running, cycling and so on - he always found a way forward.
I hope you enjoy following this adventure - and that we can raise lots of money for this important charity!
