I'm raising money for Nottingham Hospitals Charity and Nottingham Forest Community Trust. Both these amazing local charities make a huge difference to the Nottingham community.

In 2012, I raised over £1000 for Prostate Cancer, in memory of my grandfather, Tom Jones OBE, who passed away in November 2011. I did 6 events ranging from mountain climbing to half marathons.

10 years on, and it's safe to say a lot has changed in my life. 

I met my wife, Ruby in 2012 whilst I was embarking on my numerous challenges, we got married in 2014 and had our son, Albert in September 2015. 

That's where the Nottingham Hospitals Charity come in.

Albert was born prematurely at 35 weeks, weighing 3 pounds and measuring only 27cm from head to toe. After he was safely delivered by the wonderful staff at Nottingham City Hospital, but due to his size and weight he was rushed to the Neonatal unit and received 24 hour round the clock care by the fantastic nurses. 

2 weeks passed and it was finally time to bring our son home, but we never really got chance to say thank you to all of those people that looked after Albert, as the hard work of parenting properly began!

So, in light of all this, after a 10 year hiatus, I am returning to the fundraising trail for an even bigger go at it. So here's how it will go:

As I am going bigger and better than in 2012, I have increased my target goal to £3000.

All the best,

Rob
