My colleagues and myself are challenging our bodies to survive a 10k obstacle course (previously used to test out Land Rovers) to raise money for two fantastic charities.  

The Ram Run is a tough 10km with 16 challenges spread out along the route - 9 are natural challenges, and the remaining 7 are created by man! One of them is the freezing river Avon, which I will have to swim through twice. Those of you who know me well will know that I am NOT sporty in the slightest, the only thing keeping me going is that I am doing it all for a good cause. Please find it in your heart to donate J

Helen Bamber Foundation

The Helen Bamber Foundation is a human rights charity based in London, which was founded in 2005. HBF works with the most vulnerable and marginalized people in our society, those who are haunted by memories of entrapment, rape and torture and who suffer debilitating flashbacks and nightmares.

Elephant Family

Elephant Family exists to save this iconic animal from extinction in the wild, along with tigers, orangutans and all the other animals who share their habitat. Working with local people and partner NGOs, Elephant Family currently fund 20 projects across Asia and invest where they are needed most: to protect habitat, prevent conflict and reconnect the forest homes of the endangered Asian elephant.
