Gary Mayatt - Fundraising for two charities
In my 40th year I plan to raise £40,000 for Prostate Cancer and the Arrow Riding Centre in Darenth for disabled children.
The Prostate Cancer Charity
Offers support and information to anyone concerned with prostate cancer. The site has information on the prostate, prostate cancer, its treatment and living with the disease. The charity is based in the UK.

Arrow Riding Centre in Darenth
Darenth Park Avenue, Dartford, Kent DA2 6LZ
We have until April 24rd 2010 to raise £40,000.
I am planning on doing the 3 Peaks, Table Mountain, the Great North Run and the London Marathon.

Table Mountain
Thursday 18th June 09
Table Mountain is part of the strip of land forming Cape Peninsula National Park. Table Mountain, however, stands in the middle of Cape Town and defines the downtown area, with the forested ravines of its eastern buttresses flanking the southern suburbs. So named for its flat top, the mountain rises to a height of 1086m (3562ft).
Gary will be walking to the top of Table Mountain and then skydiving off the top.
