Make-A-Wish UK grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and given the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold. We want to transform the lives of 1,000 children this year by granting their One True Wish!

Tough Mudder is a 10 mile course filled with over 20 obstacles, designed to drag you out of your comfort zone, like 'Electroshock Therapy'. I know the obstacle I'm least looking forward to, it is called the 'Arctic Enema' - sounds horrifying right - but then I think they all sounds decidedly uncomfrtable. More details on all the obstacles can be found here https://toughmudder.co.uk/obstacles . There are no podiums, winners, or clocks to race against, I'm told it's not about how fast you can cross the line; it sounds to me it is just about getting across the line. Fun heh ?! How do you prepare for something like that, I asked myself, and quickly wished I hadn't when I saw the recommended three month training guide (oh dear).
