In 2005 Rob and Jo Gambi became the first married couple to achieve the ultimate adventurer’s ambition when they climbed the ‘Seven Summits’ (the highest mountains on all seven continents) and skied to both the North and South Poles. Rob is also the first Australian and Jo the first female to achieve this feat. They achieved all this while Rob was in remission from his second bout of cancer.

Martyn,
Jo and Rob did a talk for my daughter's charity, Teenage Cancer Trust less tha 2 weeks ago.
The audience loved every minute of the talk and presentation and we sold every ticket, not a seat to be had.
Absolutely excellent and reaches to most people, climbers, walkers or not.
I hope you sell a few tickets through this site!!!
Drop me an email if you like. Marketing was really hard work but it paid off in the end.

Challenge Cancer through Adventure is a great idea! I volunteer in a local hospice and have often thought that some sort of adventure (especially things like skydiving even static line and abseiling which don't need a lot of fitness) rather than sitting around would really help.

I've added your website link to my Wainwrights 'blog (not that it is widely read!). Fundraising wise - the Welsh 3000ers in less than 24hrs this summer? I'd be happy (ask me again on the day!) to do it if anyone wants to join in? May or June?

Cheers,
Neil.
