An article on WalesOnline tells how fifteen former Wales rugby captains are to scale Mount Kilimanjaro next year in a bid to raise £1m for lung cancer research.
They will be accompanied by Welsh coach Warren Gatland in the most ambitious fundraising event ever organised in aid of the Stepping Stones appeal by Velindre Hospital in Cardiff.
Lung cancer is Wales biggest cancer killer and almost 2,000 people will be diagnosed every year.
Gareth Thomas, Ieuan Evans, Mark Taylor, Mike Hall, Bleddyn Bowen, Jonathan Davies, Rob Howley, Rob Jones, Jonathan Humphreys, Bob Norster, Eddie Butler and Colin Charvis will all make the five-day climb to the top of Africa’s highest mountain. Current captain, Ryan Jones, will act as a figurehead and chief whip for the event but is unable to take part because of playing commitments.

Gatland is a great coach and actually clever man and I believe he is the best man for the Wales job.
