Raising money for Prostate Cancer UK- Ice Hockey tournament

Mon Jan 28, 2013 8:44 am

Hi there, some people know me on here and some don't. I'm taking part in the UK Forum All-Stars Ice Hockey tournament @ Ice Sheffield in July and will be representing the Prostate Cancer UK team.

There's 6 charities involved and over £14k was raised last summer in Cardiff.

Charities included are 4 National and 2 local :

Local :
Sheffield's Children's Hospital - http://www.sheffieldchildrens.nhs.uk/
St Luke's Hospice - http://www.stlukes-hospice.org/

National :
Prostate Cancer UK - http://prostatecanceruk.org/
Breast Cancer Care - http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/
Help For Heroes - http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/
Dreams Come True Foundation - http://dreamscometrue.uk.com/

I haven't played any form of hockey in 13 years so decided this was the year I would start playing again. I've worked with the All-Stars weekend off the ice for the last 3 years but hated watching from the side so decided to register and raise some money for a worthy cause.

You can donate via http://www.justgiving.com/Geraint-Walters7 or by texting GERW71 and the amount with the £ before it to 70070

For more information on the weekend, head to http://www.ukfallstars.co.uk/

Thanks for reading
Geraint

It does. It's growing every year and we anticipate to break last years figure. I've been involved off ice the last 3 years so decided to jump on this year.

His first involvement was a big plank of wood dropped on his head!!! Thanks to AA for letting G post the request on here when we started this weekend 6 years ago for 2 charities we did not know he big it would grow. It will be back in cardiff next year so will be looking for a local charity to support. Last time it was Ty Hafan.
