Prostate Cymru’s Marketing and Events Assistant Owen Pugsley has committed himself to a year of tough sporting events to raise money for the charity. Having completed The Big Walk, The Five Valleys Sportive and Cardiff Half Marathon in 2017 for Prostate Cymru, Owen has decided to continue pushing himself with a variety of sporting and adrenaline challenges.
Owen’s year of fundraising didn’t get off to the best start with a number of events including Newport Half Marathon and a skydive cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. With improved weather, Owen was able to kick start his challenges with two events in one weekend: Mumbles Duathlon on 24th March and Merthyr Half Marathon on 25th March. Owen completed the duathlon in two hours and five minutes and the half marathon in one hour and forty six minutes.
Owen is now looking forward to the rest of his events which include the Ultra Vale of Glamorgan Marathon, a bungee jump, Newport Marathon, Swansea Triathlon, Sleep When You’re Dead Triathlon, Half Iron Man, a 10K swim and the Iron Man Wales.
