"Wardie's Way" was set-up in October 2014 with a simple idea; to raise as much money as possible to go towards research into children's cancers.

The time-scale for raising the funds was set by the age of the founder - Nigel Ward (pictured below) - as he would be celebrating his 50th birthday in March 2016, and so wanted to raise funds in (and around) his 50th year!

The only question was "how" to raise the funds ... and this has remained an open, yet rewarding, challenge ever since!
