Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once again my big mouth has ended up getting me into a challenge that my big belly and big butt probably aren't suitable for - however, having said that I'll do it I now find myself a few days away from starting Tough Mudder 2015 and frantically reviewing online training and dieting plans.

Like many I had never heard of Cystinosis  - that changed when my wee cousin Joel was recently diagnosed with this extremely rare condition. He now has to undergo daily treatment at home along with regular visits to Hospital.

So while I think of the mud climbs, ice baths and electric shocks that lie ahead I think about what Joel deals with and I know which one of us is really the Tough Mudder.

If you feel you can donate to Cystinosis Foundation UK it would be much appreciated.
