In a moment of madness I signed up to do the Tough Mudder Classic Race (10 miles, 25 obstacles) this Sunday with the Bromley Belles (my football team). I'm not sure I've ever walked 10 miles in one day let alone run it, tackled 25 obstacles involving freezing cold water, electricity (?!?) and a LOT of mud.

I thought if I'm doing it I may as well try to raise money for a cause close to my heart. I know two families who are currently dealing with childhood cancer and I have since become aware of how massively underfunded research into such cancers is.
