Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Your donation will help my various team mates and I to exceed a collective total of £500,000 donated so far to the following charities, having completed these challenge events as follows:

May ’06 – ‘Tour de Force’ in aid of the ‘William Wates Memorial Trust’.
3 stages of Tour de France, completed on a triplet tandem bicycle.
August ’06 – Boxing in aid of the ‘Sausage Tree Foundation’.
Winning contender in white-collar fights.
March ‘07 – Arctic Trek in aid of ‘The Mitchemp Trust’.
2 week unsupported trek, on foot, across Baffin Island.
September ’07 – Dragonboating in aid of ‘Babes in Arms’ medical.
Winning mixed crew time for a record crossing of The English Channel.
Dec ’07 - Jan ‘08 – Transatlantic Rowing in aid of ‘The Cancer Vaccine’.
3 world records, gained by our crew, for an unsupported crossing.
March ’08 – Marathon des Sables (MDS) in aid of ‘MENCAP’.
Completed ‘The toughest footrace in the world’.


This list really means that I have been nearly drowned, sleep and food deprived for weeks at a time, suffered tendonitis, pulled and torn muscles, fractured and broken the odd bone, incurred many flesh wounds and concussions, needed stitches, been severely dehydrated,  had hyperthermia, heat exhaustion, exposure, heat stroke, frost nip, endured rashes and boils too numerous and too large to treat and generally suffered physical and mental meltdown BUT did not quit so that you would see the effort and hopefully reward the charities as a result.

Donations and your support are therefore, not something I have taken lightly and I thank you sincerely for your help and very much look forward to seeing you soon.
 
Yours aye,

Jamie.
