Edward Jackson takes on the Rainforest for the Tom Maynard Trust
Ed Jackson, a school friend of Tom’s, has decided to jump in at the deep end with a survival test in the heart of the borneo rainforest. This remote untamed corner of the world will play host to 10 days of testing trekking. Sleeping on the jungle floor or with local tribes the trekkers shall hack their way through 20km of thick jungle per day until they reach their goal at Loksardo.
Jackson says “Tom was a very dear friend of ours and we would do whatever we can to help the trust that has been set up in his name”.
All of the money will be going directly to the trust via the Surrey cricket club. Any donation will be much appreciated so please dig deep and donate now.
