A fundraising effort led by 15 former captains of Wales has been bolstered by Welsh brewer and pub operator S.A Brain and Co Ltd. The company has contributed more than £50,000 to the ‘Brains SA Captains Climb’ since coming on board as headline sponsor last summer.
The former captains, along with Wales coach Warren Gatland, will set off on their attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro on Monday 6 September, and with an overall target of £1million for the Stepping Stones Appeal Brains’ contribution will go some way to helping them achieve it.
The climb is the brainchild of WRU photographer Huw Evans, whose wife Sue was diagnosed with non-smoking related lung cancer in 2008. All money raised will go to the Stepping Stones Appeal at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.
To celebrate Brains’ achievement six of the climbers paid a visit to the Cardiff brewery. Warren Gatland was joined by former captains Rob Jones, Bob Norster, Andy Moore, Eddie Butler and Paul Thorburn (pictured below with Richard Davies of Brains).
