As some of you may already be aware, my dad was in a skiing accident last month, and is now sadly paralysed from his chest down. In June, myself and a few friends will be doing The Tough Mudder in order to raise money for the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Unit; the hospital which he will be in for the next 4 - 6 months.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated, and I hope by raising money for this unit I will be helping not only my dad, but many other people who are going through the same situation as he is. My dad has always been a very active person and I know this will be a tough lifestyle for him to adjust to. However by entering The Tough Mudder, I hope to make him proud and give something back to the QE Spinal Unit who will aid his rehabilitation throughout his time there.
