Wealth Manager hopes to boost charity coffers
19th April 2010
Dominic Baldwin will once again be pedalling his way over 100 miles from Nevill Holt in Leicestershire to Burnham Deepdale in Norfolk - this year, in aid of The Teenage Cancer Trust.
Dominic joined nine of his friends last year to cycle against 90 others in the gruelling Century Cycle Challenge. In 2009, he and his frends, called The Numbnuts, won first place in the challenge in a time of five hours and forty minutes.
This year, Dominic is a little less confident about the cycle. The birth of his daughter, Darcey in November, coupled with a busy time running Lymm based wealth management firm, Xentum, have conspired against his training schedule.
Dominic said: “With under 2 weeks to go until the cycle on 1 May, I had hoped to have completed a great deal more training. This will be the fifth year I have taken part in the event and I fear that I will have the longest time yet. Sleep has been at a bit of a premium since November. That, coupled with moving offices in December, has made it more difficult than usual to train. I am confident though that I will complete the 100 miles a little slower than usual.”
The Teenage Cancer Trust funds and builds specialists units for young people in NHS hospitals. The aim of the trust is to build enough units so that every teenager battling cancer will be treated in one by 2012. There are three specific projects in the north west alone at Manchester’s Christie Hospital, Liverpool’s Alder Hey and the Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology on the Wirral.
