What is Tough Guy? It is the original survival ordeal, a test of physical and mental endurance designed to take you beyond your limits on torture rack obstacles known as The Killing Fields, following a wild terrain 8 mile warm up.  It is held annually on the last Sunday in January in the West Midlands. It has been created with mind to some of the world’s harder military and security one day survival ordeal. The US Navy S.E.A.L.S. 'Grinder' Assault Course is comparably the nearest rival in terms of demanding physical endurance.  http://www.toughguy.co.uk

Sylvester Stallone in Rocky? - Broken man!
Arnie in Predator? - Slack jawed fa**ot!
Martin Sheen in Apoc Now? - Homesick cry baby!
Gerard Butler in 300? - Put the name immortal to the test and failed!
Rob Smith in Tough Guy...

You are sponsoring me to compete in this event in the peak of British winter, and your sponsorship will go towards Diabetes UK, an charity obviously you know is close to my heart (or pancreas if you want to 'splid' hairs). This medical condition will make the event even more gruelling as the thought of me experiencing hypoglycaemia at the top of a 40ft cargo net or at the bottom of a 6ft underwater river dive is worth the money alone - A versatile anecdote in any circle of friends/business colleagues I'm sure!

Post New Year, I will be starting a gruelling training regime that will make Colditz look like a week in Bora Bora. All those that make a substantial contribution will be given access to the video training montage that will be created (Think Rocky 4 + Alderley Edge 'Jungle' + River Bollin/Dean + Total Fitness gym) as a testament to my dedication!

Please give generously as indirectly you will be helping me, help me! (More money = Better research = More chance of cure = Rob can eat more food). Ha ha, just kidding. But not really.
