Story

<p>In a nutshell, I'm going to be taking part in <strong>HELL RUNNER 2012</strong>. It's an <strong>off-road</strong>, <strong>10-12mile </strong>race taking place on some of the toughest terrain trail running has to offer. Think <strong>sand</strong>, <strong>stones</strong>, <strong>mud</strong>, <strong>swamps</strong>, <strong>hills</strong>, and with this taking place in February, an added <strong>chill </strong>in the air. Sounds fun, right? Well check out <a href="http://bcove.me/iadbruih">this video</a> to see what I'm in for.<br><br>Now although I need little excuse to get my running shoes on, taking part in such an event needs that tiny bit more of a reason to take part; something that will allow me to forget the pain and make it over the finish line on my own two feet.Therefore, I will be running the course to raise money for <a href="http://www.prostate-project.org.uk/"><strong>The Prostate Project</strong></a>, as somebody very close to me has prostate cancer - the most common, and biggest killer, cancer among males in the UK.</p> <p>The Prostate Project are a volunteer-run charity who aim to raise awareness and fund research and treatment of prostate cancer. They also aid the Royal Surrey County Hospital, a leading centre for treatment of the cancer. On average, over 35,000 males in the UK get diagnosed each year. Around 11,000 go on to lose their lives.</p> <p>It's cliche but <strong>every penny really does help</strong>, so whether you have &pound;1, &pound;10 or &pound;100, I'd be infinitely grateful. Please do something great. Check those trouser pockets, look under the sofa cushions and tally up all those coppers in that jar.<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Morgan</p>
