Tommy's Snowdon Dryer Challenge

Hi, my name is Tommy Dunford. I'm a 32 year old father of 3 from West Yorkshire.

On June 23rd 2024, I will be walking up Mount Snowdon with a household tumble dryer on my back to raise money for Dewsbury Celtic RLFC.

Dewsbury Celtic's clubhouse is in desperate need of renovation, with estimations for the proposed plans coming in at around £80,000!

I am hoping to do my part and raise as much money as I can for the rugby club so intrinsically linked to my childhood memories.

After surviving a 2 year childhood cancer battle, having a kidney and part of my diaphragm removed as a result, along with multiple other procedures and operations, I was advised by doctors not to play any contact sports! But rugby league is just too good to give up.

I have played amateur rugby at Dewsbury Celtic since I was a young boy, until retirement last year at the age of 31 after breaking my knee whilst playing for Dewsbury Celtic.

My 3 young boys now all train with the club and it brings them an immense amount of joy and a sense of community, friendship and family, whilst I volunteer as the coach of my eldest's team, the Under 8s.

Dewsbury Celtic becomes such a part of everyone's life and offers a place for people, both children and adults alike, to come together and be a part of something.

Fingers crossed I can give back to the club that has given me so much throughout my life, and raise as much money as possible by completing Tommy's Snowdon Dryer Challenge!

Thanks,

Tommy :)
