Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I have a bit of a reputation for running what most people would consider 'silly distances' so why am I asking you to sponsor me for running 'only' 16 miles? Well firstly it's as far as they'll let me run on this event. However 16 miles is two laps of the course and I am fully expecting to finish the first lap really wishing I hadn't signed up for a second.

Secondly it looks a bit muddier and wetter than I'm used to - quite a lot muddier and wetter actually, have a look at the video: https://vimeo.com/114555948     (you'll have to cut and paste as I can't make it a hyperlink)

Thirdly and most importantly I'm part of a team of over 70 people from BAE Systems that are 'running' (wading, swimming...) this race to raise money for Combat Stress, the UK's leading charity for veteran's mental health.

BAE Systems will match all money raised pound-for-pound, no donation is too small and every donation will be very much appreciated. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for reading!
