In a bid to raise money for our company's Charity of the Year, a group of enthusiastic and unhinged AKA staff are teaming up to race 12 miles around the countryside, tackling 20-25 ridiculous obstacles!

MIND, the UK's mental health charity was chosen by AKA employees, and is an organisation that represents, helps and educates on issues that many of us are personally connected to or affected by.

Overall we aim to raise £10,000 for them this year, and Tough Mudder is just one of the small but very important events that will help us reach our target.

We each have a minimum target of £250 to raise for this event - which, if you think about it, is a mere £10 donation from 25 of our beautiful friends and family! (fingers crossed we have that many)

We will of course be training in the run up to the event and can keep everyone updated on progress - and no doubt someone will be wearing a go-pro all day, so you can watch the hilarity unfold!

Please give what you can! All donations will be so so appreciated.
