My Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Charity Tuk-Tuk Tour Raising awareness for Men’s mental Health And prostate cancer ​Hello, ​My name is Kirk Garbett, and I am the landlord of The Wheatsheaf pub in Shifnal, Shropshire. This summer, I am embarking on an ambitious (and undoubtedly bumpy!) charity challenge, and I am reaching out to see if you might be willing to help share my story or support the journey as I pass through your area. ​Starting on July 4th, I will be taking on an 800-mile journey around the Welsh coast in a 3-wheeled tuk-tuk. My maximum speed will be about 35–40 mph—so wish me luck on the hills! ​I am taking on this challenge to raise vital funds and awareness for two causes very close to my heart: ​Prostate Cancer (1 in 8 men will get it—we need to protect our fathers, sons, and brothers) ​Men’s Mental Health (Breaking the stigma and reminding everyone that it’s okay not to be okay) ​My Route: I will be travelling from Shifnal to Anglesey, driving all around the coastline, navigating the Llŷn Peninsula, and following the coast all the way down past Barmouth, Borth, and Aberystwyth. ​How you can help: ​Spread the word: If you could share my journey on your social media pages, newsletters, or local broadcasts, it would mean the world to us and help raise maximum awareness. ​Pit-stops & Camping: Because we are doing this on a budget to ensure every penny goes to charity, we are looking for local campsites, farmers, or pubs willing to host us for a night, or even just offer a warm cup of tea/coffee or a meal as we pass through. ​Wave & Cheer: If you see a blue tuk-tuk chugging along your local roads, please give us a wave or a friendly beep! ​ find me on Facebook by searching for Kirk Garbett. ​If you need any more details, or would like to coordinate a specific time to meet up when we pass through your area, please let me know. ​Thank you so much for your time and support. ​Warm regards, ​Kirk Garbett Landlord, The Wheatsheaf (Shifnal) Find me on Facebook for daily updates: Kirk Garbett
