DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN'S RIDE in aid of MEN'S HEALTH - 17 MAY
I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. On Sunday the 17th of May 2026, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.

Many thanks, ​Chris Holder

ROWING THE ATLANTIC - MARK JACKLIN
Mark and the other three members of the crew, rowed over two thirds of the way across the Atlantic from The Canary Isles to Antigua, a total of 3,000 miles in an event called ‘The World’s Toughest Row.’  They encountered many challenges such as seasickness, blisters and sores, a broken water maker, broken auto tiller, storms, heat and lack of sleep. But they also had some incredible encounters with wales, dolphins, beautiful sunsets and sunrises and some fabulous unpolluted starry skies.  They arrived in Antigua some 44 days after they left La Gomera.  
To date they have raised over £23,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support, The Royal British Legion and The Centurion Fund.

12 ULTRAMARATHONS in 12 DAYS for TESTICULAR CANCER
Hello, I’m Lindsey Maunder and live in Mill Road, Honington.  Some of you may be aware that our son, Charlie, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May 2023. Following 12 weeks of chemotherapy and 2 intensive operations, he is thankfully now in remission, and embarked on a remarkable fundraising mission.
In June, he ran a distance of over 700km in 12 days - 12 ultramarathons, from Edinburgh to London, raising money for
the OddBalls Foundation, the UK's leading testicular cancer charity.
OddBall's do fantastic work to raise awareness for the most prevalent form of cancer, with 2,400 new cases every year.
​With early detection, it also is one of the most curable forms of cancer, making its awareness vital.
Charlie raised over £31,500 (plus Gift Aid over £5,000)
