His ability to think outside the box to achieve goals is second to none and a must on any adventure being planned.

The reason we do what we do As a leading children’s medical research charity they are dedicated to funding and championing pioneering research into a range of conditions affecting babies, children and mums-to-be. Since 1991, they have committed over £26 million into pioneering research projects across a wide spectrum of medical conditions including childhood cancers, cerebral palsy, premature birth and spina bifida. In total, they have funded 265 research projects in more than 80 hospitals and universities across the UK. Through the research they fund, they aim to improve the quality of life for children and families affected by serious illness or disability today, whilst seeking ways to better diagnose, treat and prevent these conditions in the future. The medical breakthroughs they make possible, make a difference not only across the UK but for thousands of children and families around the world ​Whysitstill are proud to be raising funds from the forthcoming London - Bangkok overland trip to support the fantastic work of Sparks, with your help we can provide much needed funding required for continued pioneering research.
