Willow Starcom Technical Director to Raise 10k for Charity
On August 18th 2009 Darren Harrison will be embarking on a once in a life challenge to raise money for the "Steve Prescott Foundation". Along with Steve and a team of ex rugby league guys he will be attempting to complete the Carnegie Challenge Cup Challenge.
The 11 day challenge is to carry the match day ball for the Carnegie Challenge Cup final from Catalan to Wembley. They are cycling the first 700 miles from Catalan to Calais, then rowing across the English Channel in a dragon boat, cycling a further 80 miles from Dover to Uxbridge and then a ½ Marathon run into Wembley on the morning of the Challenge Cup Final.
All funds raised by the event will be equally split between The Christie Cancer Hospital and the RFL Benevolent Fund, which helps sick and injured Rugby League Players. The ex- Rugby League participants include Paul Sculthorpe, Kris Radlinski, Chris Joynt, Steve Hampson, Gary Connolly, Anthony Sullivan, Steve Prescott, Terry O’Connor, Chris Smith, Steve Hall and Lee Jackson. Jonny Vegas is also doing the channel crossing with us (with his monkey!!!!).
It would be fantastic if Darren could raise £10,000 for these great causes, so please donate kindly, any donation is greatly appreciated.
