Story

Hi, thanks for visiting our page.

This year we are taking part in all 8 Tough Mudder events throughout the UK & Ireland. Tough Mudder is a team-oriented 12/13 mile obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental grit.

Tough Mudder puts camaraderie over finisher rankings and is not a timed race but a team challenge. With this in mind we are also pledging to complete 2 laps in the same day, (26 miles), on selected days at the Tough Mudder events. So that’s at least 10 Arctic Enema Ice Baths each, a minimum of 10 times being electrocuted each as well as a host of other obstacles, not forgetting the combined 600 miles (approx.) that we will have to drag ourselves (and others in the spirit of Tough Mudder) round all in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Our first Tough Mudder event is on 2-May-15 with the final course to be run on 27-Sep-15.

We are covering the cost of the event entry, transport and accommodation ourselves so that 100% of the money donated goes to our chosen charity.

I know that some of you are regularly asked for sponsorship, however this is a great cause and any amount can make a difference. Through JustGiving, you can sponsor us and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities.

JustGiving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this, so please give the gift aid if you can. JustGiving is also Macmillan’s preferred donor site.

We will be posting pictures and updates following each event so that you can see that we really are daft enough to be doing this to ourselves.

We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations you can make
