Watch Tom Suffer (10 Minute Cold Plunge Charity Quiz!)
Earlier this month I agreed to join Ken Goddard (aka mad Welshman in dragon trunks) for one of his crazy challenges to try and raise some money for the South West Wales Cancer Fund. Ken, a distant relative, had already climbed Pen Y Fan (tallest peak in South Wales) in nothing but his trunks on a freezing December day and plans to keep performing similarly grueling acts until he has raised his target of £5,000. Annoyingly I wasn't available for the mountain climb, so cold water emersion it was. 10 minutes in near freezing water whilst being bombarded with general knowledge questions. Here's the full thing...
...and here's the link to Ken's just giving page for those who want to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/page/kenneth-goddard-1694721683728
(I realise that this is a regional charity so don't feel obliged to donate. SWWCF cover the whole of South West Wales from Bridgend all the way over to the tip of Pembrokeshire for those who might be local to the area!)

Bloody hell, came out looking like a cooked lobster.
Thanks for doing this Tom. My fiancé, approximately our age, was recently diagnosed with cancer. It absolutely blindsided us. No warning, no period of sickness. She was hiking one weekend and having emergency life saving surgery the next. The future is uncertain for us, but what is certain is that every penny donated to cancer charities helps and having been on the recieving end of their support I can't even describe how grateful I am. Good effort buddy, well done.
Hi Ethan - a year later but wanted to comment as we also went through a similar situation back in 2017/18 when my GF was diagnosed with lymphoma. Luckily her cancer was treatable and she has made a full recovery since. Crossing my fingers for you both.
That cold water shock looks brutal, fair play man!
The look in your eyes for the first few minutes gives me a good idea of how horrible that was. Nice work!
Nice one chaps!
Great vid for a great cause, Tom! Just put my donation in.
I've never been more worried for your safety, Tom, well done for supporting such a great charity!
I wasn't ready for the redness on exiting!
Verity said I looked like a Drumstick Lolly
Yeah I’ll leave the ice baths for Wim Hof not a chance I’ll get in one those, good on you lads though, made it look easy 👍
It's almost looks like they forgot to put cold water in Ken's tub. Man's sat there like it was a normal Tuesday afternoon infront of the telly.
Apparently his was 4C and mine was 6C!
