Hi guys.

We are going to take on one of the worlds most gruelling, brutal, and severely punishing charity events: The Tough Guy Race. In aid of Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research and one of the Tough Guy H.A.W.K charities, we have 3 months to get ready for the challenge, which takes place in Wolverhampton, during what has the potential to be one of the coldest Januaries to record.

The event itself has been pinned as one of the world's toughest endurance assault courses, and many sources can be found throughout the internet describing its intensity (some of which are listed below) . The event consists of a 10km cross country run followed by roughly 24 obstacles; such as fields of burning hay, 10 foot walls, lake swims (in sub zero water which, if you come too early, may contain an icy layer in need of breaking), underwater tunnels, electrodes and many others.

So, if you could help us look past the daunting task which awaits us by donating to what is a very worthy cause we would be extremely grateful.

All money raised online will go directly to the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. The money raised offline will be going towards one of Tough Guy's designated charities.

Thank you very much and wish us luck!
