Any body that knows me knows that I am not a fitness freak, it's even safe to say I favour a chocolate bar over over a jog. But I am a sucker for a challenge!

The two obstacle courses that we will be doing are: Spartan Race - 5km with 15 obstacles and Back2The Trenches - 10km with 25 obstacles! These are 2 of the toughest obstacle race this side of the Midlands, through woodlands, mud, water and more!

This started off as a "manly challenge" with chest puffing and grunting, but we are fully committed to completing this as a team and using this as a unique opportunity to raise money for a charity that is close to Data Select's heart.

The charity that we are raising money for is Ataxia UK. Ataxia is the name given to a group of neurological disorders that affect balance, coordination, and speech. There are many different types of Ataxia that affect people in different ways, and currently there is no cure.

I am going to be part of the Data Select All Stars, 4 other guys Scott, Jamie, Gary and Gio all working towards the same cause. We each have a target of £500.00 so please donate as generously as possible and remember any donation is appreciated.
