Hi Ladies and Gents!

Myself and my equally stupid friend/lover/open-partner - Kayur Patel, are seeking validation of our MAN status by entering a ludicrously easy competition called the Tough Guy Challenge in January 2013. We hope this will play to our strengths of being fit (dubious), courageous (we're both from Surrey) and loving the freezing cold (if you haven't already noticed, we're fairly tropical).

This is in aid of the Neil Desai Foundation, a brilliant charity that supports Cardiac Risk in the Young, following the tragic loss of a fantastic person and a friend 4 years ago. I must also mention I'll be thinking of another incredible person and friend during the race, Salim Hilmy, who passed away 3 years ago.

Kayur Patel has generously (and rather out of character, I must say..) offered to do the entire race in swimming trunks if we raise over £2000...

Over to you guys, any donation would be hugely appreciated :-) .

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
