Kayaking 10 Waterfalls for Macmillan.

​
A few years ago I was Kayaking in North Wales, running some amazing waterfalls in the beautiful Welsh valleys, thinking life couldn't be better. A week later I was diagnosed with Cancer and everything changed. After major surgery and a hell of a lot of support physically, mentally and emotionally from my wife, our parents, loved ones and Macmillan I have managed to get back on my feet. There is still a long way for me to go but I'm feeling strong again.

To show my thanks to Macmillan for their amazing support and to prove to myself and everyone that has helped me that I am a fighter, I am raising money for a new Macmillan Cancer Support Centre that is being built in Brighton in East Sussex. The centre has been designed by experts and people effected by Cancer to offer support and advice in a calm, non-clinical environment.

So, I am Kayaking 10 UK waterfalls, with help from my paddling chums. We are videoing the events and editing them (if I can call in another favour) in to a decent film for everyone to share. We started on Sunday 3rd Feb and I wanted to start off where I last paddled - the waterfalls of the beautiful Welsh valleys!

For me Macmillan's support was invaluable. At a time when everything and everyone around you is falling apart and you spend your days in hospital corridors contemplating your chances they are there with advice, counselling and practical help like an oasis. The Centre they are building will help them reach so many more people in my position or worse, and their families. They need to raise £3.7m so I am happy to throw myself off waterfalls in a boat to go some way towards that - if you can help by sponsering me!

ALL the money raised will go towards the charity. NONE will be used by me to fund the trips!
