Phil Thomas and his daughter Laura were inspired to help Richard raise funds after following Richard’s record setting 737 Challenge, Phil stated; “Everyone we speak with agree Richards' 737 achievement is astounding and awe-inspiring.   We have all been captivated by Richards' journey, including his selfless fundraising efforts for a wonderful charity in Marie Curie.  Laura and myself are truly delighted and humbled that Richard is entering the event.  His presence will of course have a huge influence on Ten2Ten's success.  Inspired by his courage and touched by his humility, we plan to make the 14th July a day to celebrate Richards' amazing achievement”.
