SkyVac Expedition

Spinaclean's founders are putting their bodies on the line to raise money for charity this autumn.

Andy Whiting and Mark Nice will aim to accomplish five gruelling challenges in 5 days to raise money for Cancer Research UK and Northampton autism charity En-Fold.

This September, Andy and Mark will attempt a kayak across Windermere, a demanding two-loop 32-mile cycle ride around Coniston Water, a dramatic whitewater raft through Snowdonia, zoom down the fastest zip line in the world and finish atop Snowdon (Yr Wfddfa).

Andy said, “We’re not exactly in peak physical condition, so doing all 5 of these challenges in 5 days could be considered crazy. But it’s all for great causes and we’d LOVE to raise thousands for both charities.”

Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. Andy and Mark want to contribute to the vital fundraising for cancer research and supporting people with cancer, so they have chosen Cancer Research UK as their first charity.

They also want to highlight and raise funds for the local Northampton organisation En-Fold, which supports people with autism and has been instrumental in making the lives of people with autism in the area better, through advice, signposting or day-to-day support. Andy knows firsthand how essential organisations like En-Fold are to the lives of people with autism as his nephew Sam has ASD.

Training is in full swing for their upcoming expedition. If you’d like to follow Andy and Mark’s training, and the challenges themselves or donate to their causes, please visit our justgiving.com page.
