Hi 

UPDATE - We have been offered a forfeit to make the challenge harder Team Lateral will join the Human Carpet.  We will lie in front of the Front Squad runners which means we will not start until the Front Squad have run, trampled or jumped over us!!  That has to be worth more sponsorship!!!!!

We will all be taking part in Tough Guy, the original and toughest test of its kind anywhere in the World. Run on the last Sunday in January, we will need every last ounce of mental and physical strength we can muster to rise to this challenge. Our fear of heights, tight spaces, fire, water and electricity will be tested. Everyone bar the very toughest will be beaten!

The event involves running 8 country miles through 26 sections each containing obstacles including fields of fire, electric fences, barbed wire crawls, swimming in lakes, underwater tunnels and swamps. There are over 100 challenges in all and there are 2 circuits to complete. Please check out the link below for full details and a video of the course:

From a Charity perspective the Tough Guy organisers recognise the need to support smaller local charities and with that in mind we will all be running to raise money for the Heroes Sanctuary which retrains military disabled for new careers.

As a team we are looking to raise £5000 for this Charity. Any contribution you can make would be greatly appreciated. If you feel you want to do more than sponsor us, then you are welcome to join the team and run the course with us. Just contact me for more details.
