Beyond my better judgement I'm taking part in the South London Tough Mudder 2023! A 15km course of running and 30 world famous obstacles including ice baths, electric shock treatment, cage crawling through water, a scramble through tear gas and many more obstacles which are guartanted to be a challenge. I wanted to ensure that my pain is for something so I decided (last minute) to raise money for Dad's house.

Dads House was set up in 2008 by William McGranaghan (Billy to his friends) to help single dads with the practicalities of raising their children alone.

There are currently over 2 million non-residential dads in the UK and over 200,000 raising their children alone. Just in London there are 20,000 dads who are the main carers for their children. We have seen a huge change in society and these figures are expected to rise dramatically in the next 5 years. After raising his own son from an early age, William realised that there was very little support for fathers. Although there were a number of organisations available to help parents, there was no support for the practical side, no one to meet up with for a coffee and chat, people that would have an understanding of their struggles.
