Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

With the help of my Tough Mudder team, I hope to raise money for Samaritans in memory of my dad, Mark Thorpe.

There are 20,665 people who volunteer their time for Samaritans. They are available 24 hours a day to provide emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of emotional distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. The goal of Samaritans is to ensure that fewer people die by suicide. For more information on the charity, please visit their website here:

The Tough Mudder run is an intense 10-12 miles obstacle course, featuring fire, electric shocks and icy cold water. It requires a great deal of stamina, which is why I chose to do it as I am extremely lazy and could do with a good challenge! To get a taste of what Tough Mudder is, check out their YouTube channel here:
