Fundraising Champions:

Team Relentless

 

Relentless:

Aaron and John

 

Team Relentless consists of John Doran and Aaron Clark. We are committed to the Young Heroes cause as we were both friends with Nissar Bahadur (the inspiration behind Impact young Heroes) and have both had other friends and family members who have been affected by cancer.

 

Our fundraising challenge

 

We have pledged to raise £100,000 over the next 12 months (Feb. 2009 - Feb. 2010)

 

In the coming weeks we will update this page with more information on how our challenge is progressing.

 

Why is our team called Relentless

 

Our fundraising team have accepted the challenge and we will not give up until we have reached our target. We are determined to keep going and are single minded in our quest to help support Young Heroes to make a big difference in the lives of young people living with cancer. This is why we chose the name Relentless.

 

We would appreciate any help and support from like minded people. If you have any spare time, it is a great way to meet new people, have fun and most importantly help to support young people living with cancer.

 

If there is anybody out there who would like to help us reach the target by organising a sponsored event or activity please email us with your idea John.doran@makeabigdifference.org

Let’s get ready to rum-bull

 

 

2 martial arts mad brothers from Whitley Bay have pledged to raise £10,000 for Young Heroes by joining Young Heroes Team ‘Relentless’ & competing in a mammoth 100 rounds of kick boxing.Andy and James Olsen (pictured below with Kerry Louise Norbury - seven-time world kickboxing champion along with Bradford Bulls players Jamie Langley and Wayne Godwin) will be taking centre stage on the Grattan Stadium pitch, home to the Bradford Bulls Rugby League Club to battle their way through 100 rounds of what is sure to be an extremely hard and gruelling challenge. The pair have been training tirelessly since announcing the challenge.

Andy, the eldest of the brothers, says “We are training very hard for this event, and your help and support would be greatly appreciated”.

He goes on to say “for those who don’t know, James has Downs Syndrome. He is Rugby League (in particular the Bulls!) and Martial Arts mad and was delighted when we arranged to do this.  We have had fantastic support in getting this far, but your sponsorship is the key to us reaching our target”. This spectacular event will take place on Tuesday 15th September 2009 between 1pm and 8pm. You can sponsor Andy & James on their JustGiving page by visiting

Aaron Clark's Bungee Jump From the Transporter Bridge in Middlesborough

 

 

As you may or may not be aware I have a phobia of heights, I know its ironic with me being so tall 6'5". In an effort to overcome this fear and also raise money for Young Heroes I will be doing a bungee jump off the top of the iconic Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge.

The bungee jump went really well. It was very scary. Ill let the video and pictures do the talking
