VENTURE TO VICTORY
FUNDRAISING CHALLENGES & ADVENTURES THAT ARE NO HOLIDAY.
Hello. My name is Simon Ford, thanks for visiting,
I am not a travel company.
I'm a man inviting opportunity for others who have either gone through grief or have a cause close enough to them that they're willing to take on something hard and perilous in the name of their cause.
It's as simple as that.
Following a profound personal loss several years ago I set up Venture To Victory with the express purpose of running extreme fundraising challenges in aid of various organisations including the NHS, Royal British Legion, Alzheimer's Society, etc as well as more localised community groups.
Over that time I've taken incredibly committed teams on challenges all over the world, from the Sahara Desert to the Arctic, the rivers of Asia, the mountains of Europe, and through the most stern challenges the UK can offer. All with the express purpose of raising funds in the scrap against life changing and life limiting conditions and the pain that brings.
Nothing corporate. Nothing selfish. Just doing.
Have a look around my site. If anything grabs you and you have a mind to help save lives through one ridiculous challenge or other, give me a shout.

Hard
Charity Fundraising Adventures
Challenges that will push not only your fitness but your ability to learn different skills under the pressure of the changing environment around you.
Harder
Charity Fundraising Adventures
Not quite in the 'extreme' category but challenges that will push the relatively fit individual to their physical limits and occasionally ask more.
Hardest
Charity Fundraising Adventures
These are real expedition style challenges. The going is arduous and achievable but only if you can work as part of a team on the edge.
