Daniel Chambers,
Head of Trading,
Sequoia Capital Fund
Management LLP
and a key member
to K&KGC’s buy side
trading community,
takes on his third
Tough Mudder
challenge to raise
money for a charity
close to his heart
Daniel tells us why he’s chosen to do this with the aim of raising
as much money as possible for this cause.
“In July this year, I’ll be taking part in my third Tough Mudder
and raising money for Peter McVerry Trust. Peter McVerry
Trust are a charity responding to the needs of people affected
by homelessness. The charity provides services that tackle
homelessness, drug misuse and social disadvantage.
Helping the homeless is something I feel is very important and
often neglected. We take for granted the roofs over our heads
and the beds we sleep on each night. We can easily forget that
some don’t have warmth during winter, food to eat or even
somewhere to conduct basic everyday hygienic practices.
I’ll be following up this Tough Mudder with help on the streets of
Dubiln, Ireland in an attempt to contribute directly to the efforts
to make their lives better.
Tough Mudder is an obstacle course around 10 miles long testing
physical and mental strength. Obstacles along the way include
ice water, electroshock therapy, climbing and monkey bars. It
isn’t quite elite level, but it’s a tough few hours of running and
getting very muddy.
I hope we can make a real difference to the people for whom this
money is being raised.”
