My story

 

On 31st January 2010 Brad, Keith and Gav are putting down their pint glasses and taking on the legendary "Tough Guy" Challenge in memory of Ellis Clark and are hoping to raise lots of money for the Skeletal Cancer Action Trust (SCAT). 

Taking place in Perton near Wolverhampton, the Tough Guy challenge http://www.toughguy.co.uk consists of a cross country run followed by an assault course. Running the course involves risking barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, dehydration, hypothermia, acrophobia, claustrophobia, electric shocks, sprains, twists, joint dislocation and broken bones. Before running the course one must sign a "death warrant" which states that one acknowledge the risks and dangers the course brings along, and that one can not claim in the case of injury.

Aged just twelve years old, Ellis was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma which is the most common form of bone cancer and sadly she passed away, at the age of 16, on the 4th June 2008.

In memory of Ellis, the Ellis Harriet Clark Foundation http://www.ellisharrietclark.org was founded with the aim of making the lives of children suffering with cancer a little easier.  SCAT is one of the charities that the Foundation supports

SCAT is dedicated to the advancement of bone cancer research, to providing the best possible care and support at each stage of treatment and to improving the quality and dignity of life for all patients. They fund research, upgrade limbs, improve facilities for families and purchase specialist equipment.
