Lloyd Scott
Former leukaemia sufferer Lloyd Scott is probably the
best-known fundraiser in the UK. In 2002 he walked the
Flora London Marathon in a deep-sea diving suit and
last year completed the world's first 'Under Water
Marathon' in the murky waters of Loch Ness. He has
been the recipient of the 'This Is Your Life' famous
red book and last year received The Mirror’s ‘Pride of
Britain ’Award. His past challenges haven't gone
unnoticed and Lloyd has appeared on all major T.V. &
radio shows in the UK and in every national newspaper,
including the front cover of The Times and The Guardian.
His appeal isn't limited to the UK - Lloyd has also
featured in national papers and recorded radio
interviews for countries as far a field as; America Japan
and Australia.
Lloyd has completed his unique style of fundraising
challenges on six of the seven continents - the ultimate
being Australia. It is a personal ambition of Lloyd’s to
complete challenges on all continents and in October
2004 he will attempt one of his most outrageous and
toughest challenges to date - to cycle across Australia
on an original Penny Farthing!
Leaving the famous deep-sea diving suit in the
wardrobe, Lloyd will don traditional tweeds and cycle
the 2,700 miles from Perth to Sydney in an attempt to
raise one million pounds, via a national appeal to
500,000 households and businesses, for CHILDREN with
LEUKAEMIA. In the process he also hopes to raise
awareness for a disease that kills more children in the
UK than any other.
