To get over 12 foot walls and through underground mud tunnels, you’ll need teammates to give you a boost and a push. Tough Mudders are team players who make sure no one gets left behind.” </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"Help for Heroes was founded in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better."</span></p>

We are nervous but thrilled to be running for such a worthwhile cause side-by-side with other Tough Mudders! </span></p>
