Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since my operation and health issues last year I have made it my goal to become fit and live a healthier lifestyle! After joining a boot camp 3 times a week and doing a couple of tame 5k race for life's I have decided to put my progress to the test to see how far I have come and how far I can push myself! I have entered in the 5k Spartan run at Ripon in September as part of the KI Fitness (Leeming Bar) bootcamp team.

If anyone is unsure what the Spartan race involves then please see some pictures I have added below. Basically, its mud, sweat and pain and I aim to make it out alive!!

While this event is very much about pushing myself and my own goals I thought it would be good to raise some money for charity at the same time.

The Benjamin Gautrey Foundation is a charity close to my heart after a friend lost his life racing motorbikes in 2011. The charity helps young people achieve their dreams in sports. Details and more info can be found at http://www.thebenjamingautreyfoundation.org.uk/
