Story

The end of Challenge12.....

Since January 2012, I've completed 12 challenges a year to raise money for various charities.

Through this insane journey I’ve had the privilege to meet some incredible people and had some amazing adventures. More amazingly, Challenge12 has, to date, collectively raised £131,000 for various charities.

All good things, must come to an end though and four years later, I am about to embark on the fifth and final year of Challenge12.

Between June 30th 2016 and June 30th 2017, I will complete the following 12 challenges:

01. Tough Mudder: To The Bleed - June 2016 - June 2017
      5 Tough Mudders in 12 months to bring up total completed to 10

02. Channel Swim 23rd to 28th September 2016 . Working in a relay team of 8 to swim the English Channel

12. Vertical KM at Chamonix - June 23rd 2017

This insane list of challenges, is all to raise money for one charity: Holy’s Home for Children. This is a small and newly formed charity, based in Ghana. If we can raise £20,000 throughout all the challenges this year, then we will be able to build an orphanage and playground as well as other elements to help the orphanage and local community. For my part, I'm going to raise (try to anyway) £2,000.

We are the only source of money for the charity and can only do this through your generosity!

Likewise, if you’d like to get involved in any of the above then please email me andy@challenge12.co.uk and we'll get you signed up :)

Thank you for your support this year and every year since we started this crazy project!!

Lots of love

Andy
