Ian Botham's Valleys Walk 2003, supported by the Leasedrive Group, raised £430,000 for the Noah's Ark Appeal to equip the first Children's Hospital for Wales. The group provided four cars and three vans for the nine-day walk last October.
Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "Once more Beefy has walked tirelessly in pursuit of good causes. His latest achievement will go a long way towards raising the £1.5m needed for state-of-the-art equipment. To have been a part of his latest walk was again an honour and a privilege."
The Valleys Walk 2003, through the valleys of south east Wales, covered a total distance of 210 miles. Roddy Graham joined Ian for the Grand Finale from Cwmbran to Newport Rugby Club.
