Hide AdTom, who is the charity’s chairman, is part of a six-strong team of supporters who will set off on the kayak challenge in June, travelling over 100 miles from Birmingham to London within 36 hours. And the 44-year-old has already paddled-up support from his twin brother Edward Bromwich whose residential property firm ehB Residential has pledged £500 in sponsorship.
Both brothers have experienced first-hand the support provided by the charity as Edward has previously undergone treatment for Medullary Thyroid Cancer whilst Tom and his three young children have each had a thyroidectomy as a preventative measure.
Tom said, “It will definitely be a personal journey for me as my children and I have all had to undergo preventative treatment for thyroid cancer and it is fantastic to have the support of my brother Ed who has had to fight through a challenge of his own.
“I’m sure it will be a tough journey but we have all been training really hard and we are extremely dedicated to the cause.

Edward, who is managing director at Leamington and Warwick based ehB Residential, said: “Having undergone treatment for thyroid cancer myself, I appreciate how important it is to raise money and awareness to support not only research, but to also provide the vital equipment needed to support cancer patients. “
