<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">It was as ridiculous, as tough and as FREEZING as expected, but honours evens and it’s now ticked off on life’s list of things to do. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">For a reminder of the pain team Tough Lobster had to endure and to see that I actually made it, in a respectable 2hrs 9mins, or 612<sup>th</sup> out of a starting field of 4,000 nutters, feel free to visit: </span><a href="http://www.toughguy.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.toughguy.co.uk/</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">Taking place on Sunday 3<sup>rd</sup> April, over 12km of what can best be described as difficult terrain, The Gauntlet is “</span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: #0070c0; font-size: 10pt;">the toughest, muddiest, wettest off-road running events in the South East. We run where others fear to tread!</span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">”</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">Whilst I was delighted and hugely grateful for the generosity of all involved with Tough Guy, I have fallen slightly short of my intended fundraising target for </span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #0070c0;">Paul’s Cancer Support Centre</span></strong><span style="color: #000000;">.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">As such any and all contributions are still very welcome to help this worthy cause. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Paul’s perform sterling work as a support group to help people with cancer and their families. The centre focuses on relieving stress and social isolation during and after medical treatment, and helping people to develop resilience in the face of change and uncertainty. The centre receives no government funding and continues to rely entirely on donations and fundraising events to keep the services going.</span></span></span></p>
