With two young children Chris does not get as much free time now to go out sailing but it remains one of his true passions. He is a keen fund raiser with his climb to Mount Everest base camp and participation in four Great North Runs raising over £18,000 for the British Heart Foundation. He has recently raised over £6000 for ‘Sue Ryder’ after running the London Marathon and helped to raise over £10,000 at the ‘BBJ Charity Ball’ this year. Chris enjoys football, walking, running, travel, food, drink and good company.
