10 tough challenges in 10 months all for Forever Manchester
Fundraising for Forever Manchester
Story
Hello All,
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
Every year, we at Metronet (UK) like to raise money for Forever Manchester by any means necessary, last year I took part in the Manchester 10k and this year is no different. However, I have decided to up the stakes a little and will be competing in at least 10 different races throughout the year. A few of these events I am looking forward as for the others, not so much! All will be done with the aim to raise as much money as possible for Forever Manchester.
So far, I have 9 challenges booked in:
1) 10th April: Manchester Marathon (Running 13.3 Miles as 1 half of a relay team)
COMPLETED: 1:58:15
2) 22nd May: Manchester 10k
COMPLETED: 54:49
3) 5th June: Prestwich Challenge (8 Mile obstacle course with tyre carry)

7) 5th November: Men's Health Survival of the Fittest Manchester (10k obstacle course)
8) 12th November: Commando (12km Obstacle course) In this event I will be completing the "2 Lap Toughie" – I have to run the course twice in order to finish whilst running with 21lb webbing and imitation rifle, the “Do It Like A Commando” option (I fully expect this one to be the death of me!!!)
