Hi all,
Just a very quick message to say a massive THANK-YOU on behalf of Team Sparta for your support and donations as we took on The Tough Guy 2010 - Nettle Warrior Challenge.
We all (just about!) got round in 3hours30ish, enjoying electrocuted torture chambers, freezing cold swamps and all manner of other fabulous course features designed to push your endurance to the very limit en route to completion...
So - with final donations in, I am pleased to say that with your help, we raised a whopping £2242 for our 3 designated charities - this is a tremendous effort so THANK-YOU once again for your support and encouragement!

Yours from recovery (still!) in the medic tent,
Team Sparta ;0) x

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On Sunday the 25th July, we 13 Spartans will be entering the 2010 Tough Guy Nettle Warriors Challenge!
What is Tough Guy?
The original, held in Perton near Wolverhampton, is organised in England by former British Army Officer Billy Wilson (Mr Mouse), who claims nobody has ever finished all the course according to his extremely demanding rules. Taking place in July, Tough Guy Nettle Warrior consists of an eight country mile run including an assault course and two laps of the killing fields. Running the course involves risking barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, hypothermia, acrophobia, claustrophobia, sprains, twists, joint dislocation and broken bones - those who apply, have to sign the infamous death disclaimer - this is not your average endurance event
So, we would love your support - we have set up three pages to reflect the causes supported by our Team - any amount to any one of these is greatly received ;0)
Yours from deep in our training camp,
Team Sparta x

The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association is the only national organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland dedicated to the support of people with MND and those who care for them.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones. Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing
Our mission is to fund and promote research to bring about an end to MND. Until then we will do all that we can to enable everyone with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest quality of life possible, and die with dignity. We will also do all that we can to support the families and carers of people with MND.
Our vision is of a world free of MND.
