Thanks for taking the time to visit the team Sift JustGiving page for our 2017 charity Cots for Tots.

Two teams. Two challenges. All for the tots.

This summer a group of (fool)hardy Sifties will be taking on either the Bristol Night Rider in July or Bristol Tough Mudder in August. A few crazy diamonds have even signed up for both. Now why do that?

We've joined forces to raise as much as we can for Sift's chosen charity, Cots for Tots.

"Cots for Tots is the special care baby charity for sick and premature babies at Bristol’s Special Care Baby Unit at St Michael’s Hospital.

The charity raises funds for life-saving equipment and pioneering new facilities to transform the lives of babies from Bristol, the South West of England, South Wales and throughout the UK.

Cots for Tots House is our own dedicated 12 bedroom house providing free 'home from home' accommodation for parents, brothers and sisters of babies in the Special Care Baby Unit."

Basically, pretty amazing stuff. 

To make things more challenging, for both options we've ticked the full distance route. So make that a nice round 100km in the dark or 20 obstacles over 20 miles.

It's going to be a real adventure, even for such a collection of (ahem) elite level athletes as team Sift. 

I've heard there may be some secret training going on. And I've heard that there might even be some lycra on order. Don't let that put you off giving...

Seriously folks, this is a biggie and we're doing it for Cots for Tots. If you can find a few quid it will help keep us going when we're either face down in the gloop or fixing punctures at 2am.

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 from team Sift!
