This October, 25 men will take on this gruelling endurance challenge which will cover over 500 kilometres of tough back country endurance riding and hiking through some of the most spectacular countryside in S.E. Asia. Starting in Saigon, travelling through Phnom Penh and finishing in Cambodia’s northern province of Siam Reap, they will battle tropical heat and thunderstorms and will require very high physical and mental capabilities for this trek with the intensity rating ‘extreme’.
When my wife Kirralee and I set up the Mark Hughes Foundation we wanted to make a difference, and make a difference fast! When you live with brain cancer you really appreciate how precious time is. We have to make every minute count. We wanted to raise money for research – FAST. Kiz suggested we sell beanies as a lot of brain cancer patients wear beanies to cover scars, bandages, loss of hair and just to keep warm. Thus “Beanie for Brain Cancer” was born in 2014.
