Darren Sims BEM, aka Daz, has raised over £1.5 million for various charities over the years, including Variety. He is passionate about supporting children and has supported Variety by raising funds for four coaches (he is now raising funds for his fifth!).

Daz has dedicated his coaches in memory of his mother who was a long time friend and supporter of Variety. He is an incredibly dedicated fundraiser who always goes the extra mile (marathon pun intended!)

Daz commented on his marathon challenge and why he is raising vital funds for Variety:

“The experience is second to none, the support beforehand from our ‘Daz’s Rock 4 Charity’ supporters, followers, friends and family and from the masses on the streets of London on the actual day is phenomenal.

“The most special thing to me though, is knowing that the funds raised are vital and will change lives of disabled and disadvantaged children in the UK.”

“This year our Daz’s Rock 4 Charity team who are helping Variety with me are raising money for our FIFTH Sunshine Coach, which will make a huge difference to the children Variety supports.”
