When Bob Prior caught up with friend and part-time neighbour Geoff at a party last year, little did he know their night out would end with a pledge to raise a six figure sum, a trip to Tanzania with a 1975 Land Rover ambulance and a determination to help children orphaned by AIDS.
As a result of his promise to help his old friend source four ambulances to help children orphaned by AIDS victims in Tanzania, Bob is now trying to raise £100,000 to support the charity Orphans in the Wild.
Orphans in the Wild is a charity set up by Vicky and Geoff Fox, who moved to Tanzania from...

Although watching countless replays of the flanker hurtling towards the...
