Northamptonshire cabbie and punk rock drummer prepares for epic charity challenge weekends
A Northamptonshire taxi driver and punk rock drummer is preparing to “go out with a bang” with two weekends of challenges for a charity close to his heart.
Tim Sharp, from Daventry, who works for Link Hire Taxis, will take on a packed programme of fundraising activities for children’s charity the NSPCC.
His first challenge comes on Friday evening with a Man vs Food contest at McDonald’s in Daventry.
On Saturday, Tim will complete a three-reservoir walk before having his head shaved that evening.
There will be little opportunity to recover before he takes on a five-hour drum marathon at The Goat pub in Long Buckby on Sunday.
The following weekend, Tim will swap his drumsticks for walking boots when he treks up Snowdon with his son Billy.
Tim said the challenges will be his last major fundraising efforts because of his age and health issues.
He said: “NSPCC is real close to my heart. I’ve done quite a few things in the past for the charity.
“But due to health issues and my age, this’ll be the last ones and I wanted to go out with a bang and can’t wait to get stuck in.”
Donations can be made through Tim’s JustGiving fundraising page.
