Hello everyone, 

No, not a wind up, I do indeed intend to re-don the combat boots and cake myself in mud.  The GRIM Challenge is an 8 mile run across the British Army's vehicle test track, in December...and I'm no Chally 2.  Plus it's taking place in Aldershot, so I'll also have to contend with potential muggings. 

Combat Stress is the UK's leading veterans' mental health charity. Mental health issues, including PTSD, can affect ex-servicemen and women of all ages. Right now, Combat Stress have more than 6,000 veterans registered with them for support. They’re a vital lifeline for these veterans, and their families.

BAE Systems will match, pound-for-pound, all the funds raised.
