"Jungle Jon" to Belize in aid of Cancer Research UK

Jungle Adventure – in aid if Cancer Research UK

From the 5th February until 23rd February Jonathan Fairhurst, the InvestinCyprus.com Customer Relations Manager, will be taking time out from the office to take part in an extreme event called the Belize Challenge to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

This is a competitive multi-discipline team expedition held in extreme conditions and split into five phases: in-country training & acclimatisation, 100km kayak race, jungle navigation over approximately 70km, five days jungle survival (surviving with nothing but the shirt on his back), during which time he’ll have to complete a series of challenges, and finished off with marathon length run, walk or crawl out of the jungle.

This is a world away from the usual challenges that he faces during office hours as part of overseeing the progress of multiple developments in Cyprus and is sure to fully test Jonathan’s physical and mental strength. The heat of Cyprus in the summer is likely to be the only similarity.

Jonathan will be completing this event as part of a 4 person team called Team Xtreme and a dedicated web page has been set up to enable anyone to make an online donation in support of their efforts for Cancer Research UK. Please click on the following link to visit the charity page -

Any donation you make will really mean a lot to Jonathan and to Cancer Research. You can follow the progress of Jonathan and his team throughout the event by visiting the official event web site, at http://www.belize-challenge.com/ where regular updates will be posted. The event will also be televised on Trans World Sport later in the year.
