Me and three mates (team: The SCUKers) have entered a two day endurance snowboarding race, the aim is to raise money by covering more than 150km and a 10km night hike, otherwise known as the Snow Camp Alpine Challenge 2013.

For perspective, the average recreational skier/snowboarder covers approx. 20-25km per day on holiday. We're being tasked with covering this distance three times over, two days running, with a 10km hike in between.

This is going to be a hugely physical challenge and I've already started training to get "match fit" so please support my efforts for, a great charity.

SnowCamp is a great charity, taking kids in dead-end places and inspiring them with the Alps, teaching them valuable life skills and motivating them for the future through education and snow sports.

Please dig deep!
