As some of you will know, Chris and I have become a little addicted to obstacle races.  No-one warned us about the secret side-effect...a false sense of invincibility!

This largely resulted in us getting online just after we'd finished one ordeal to sign up for something EVEN more scary than the one we'd just completed.

And that, my dears, is how we ended up signed up for The Rat Race Dirty weekend, which is due to take place on Saturday, 6th May 2017.

We will be tackling a 20 mile course which contains 200 obstacles.  If you want to see exactly what we've got ourselves into, check this out:

We are collecting for Age Concern Cymru on behalf of Wales & West Housing, the organisation I work for.  I voted for it as our staff charity this year, along with many others.  I'm passionate about the work that Age Cymru do because I feel saddened by the way older people are treated in our society.  Instead of being treated with respect and afforded dignity, all too often they are isolated, impoverished and neglected.  I want to contribute to the great work that Age Cymru do to turn this around.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for donating!  And *gulp* wish us luck!  Kate and Chris x
