While the sofa is comfortable and warm I'm reminded that comfortable and warm doesn't raise awareness....Running through mud, swimming in ice and being electrocuted makes people take notice (even if it's for a quick giggle at my expense) Imagine a pudgy lamb to the metaphorical slaughter! 

This year I will be running Tough Mudder South West in aid of the "Feel Yourself Campaign". An amazing charity, focused on raising awareness of Breast and Testicular cancer and the importance of regularly checking yourself for early signs of cancer to get them treated.

Now, I'm no gym devotee...I'm overweight, no upperbody strength or core strength....but training for this run will change all of that and make me appreciate the hard work and effort others put into fund raising for worthwhile charities to thrive and save lives.
