With some of my colleagues, I've signed to up to take part in the Vanguard Tough Mudder event to raise funds for our local Age UK West Sussex Brighton & Hove.

Having seen whats now involved and given the state of my (lack of) physical fitness, I'm not sure this was my brightest idea..! It's all for an excellent cause though so I know the sweat, mud and pain will be worth it! I'd really appreciate any sponsorship towards our collective goal for our charity of the year.

The charity helps local older people to live well and make the most of later life. By providing information and advice, practical support, social activities and help for those living with or caring for someone with dementia, we reduce poverty, isolation and loneliness, and improve health and well-being, enabling older people to remain independent for longer.
