Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any groups based in the UK that look at snowboarding and other boards sports as a way of raising awareness for certain illnesses ?????
I know there is Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) but I think thats mostly based in the states, and I know there are one off events run to promote illnesses but i dont know of any others |

This year there is an event in Cardiff called Have ago Help a Bro. It's linked with Movember and is raising money for The Prostate Cancer Charity and The Institute of Cancer Research. Have a look!
