Run For Ray 2015

h award from the IRB in November 2014 - the first Welshman to ever receive the award. In his later years, Ray was a Senior Ambassador for Prostate Cymru, and was a founding member of the Pembrokeshire Friends of Prostate Cymru. This brings me nicely on to my 'Run for Ray' challenge. Soon after Ray's passing, I decided to take on a challenge to raise important funds and awareness to help fight this country's most common cancer in Welsh men.
'Run for Ray' is a 186 mile run over 7 days across the entire Pembrokeshire Coastal path, from St Dogmaels in the far north of the county to Amroth in the South East of the county. In terms of ascents and descents, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path is the equivalent of Mount Everest. I will be running the path in various stages throughout the week, ending the run in Little Haven, the beautiful coastal village where one of Ray's daughters (Helen) lives with her family and a short distance from Broad Haven, the home of Ray's other daughter, Judith. Pembrokeshire is a truly beautiful place and I cannot think of a better way of seeing the county I live in, and hopefully hitting my fundraising target of £2000 for an important charity. I invite as many individuals to join me in 'Run for Ray', whether you want to run 100 metres, 1 mile, 10 miles, or 100! It would be great if you could come along, so get in touch : )
