I am planning on running the Spartan Race on November 18 2012 to raise money for the Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders.  The Spartan race is a 12 mile Obstacle Race from Hell.  Please click link provided so you can see what I mean: Spartan Race Video For further information please visit the Spartan Race website.

I have decided to do this to help raise money for one of my favourite charities -- the Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders (AEC).  AEC began in November 1996 as an outreach of Ascension Church Centre, Custom House, Newham. Initially, AEC started as a way to keep youth off the streets & engaged in an activity that promotes fitness & social interaction. Over the past decade, AEC has been recognized as 1 of the UK’s most successful youth programs, as well as Britain’s best all-round cheer program. AEC aims to transform and inspire young people to reach their full potential, while providing the highest level of training, coaching and community development work. AEC makes a difference in the lives of young people so they can make a difference to others in their community and in the world.
