VENTURE TO VICTORY
OVER CANCER
Hello and thanks for visiting. My name is Simon Ford and following the loss of my fiancée to cancer several years ago I set up Venture To Victory Over Cancer with the express purpose of running extreme fundraising challenges in aid of the wonderful NHS Velindre Cancer Centre.
Since that time I've taken incredibly committed teams on challenges all over the world, from the Sahara Desert to the Arctic, and from the rivers of Asia to the mountains of Europe, all with the express purpose of raising funds in the scrap against cancer and the pain it brings.
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, gimme a shout. You'll be among friends.

Challenges that will push not only your fitness but your ability to learn different skills under the pressure of the changing environment around you.

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.
