ToughGuy 2010 – I Finished 294th!
Officially recorded as the coldest year on record with temperatures of -5 degrees and frozen lakes with 1” ice to break through and contend with, I finished an amazing 294th out of 4,000 entries, in a record time of 1 hour 49 minutes.
“this event is the most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world, I’ve endured three months of hard training to prepare for these sub-zero conditions and breaking through ice made this years event feel extra-tough, but despite the cold and pain, I fully intend on competing and fund-raising for next years event!”
Through fund-raising and donations, I’ve raised £600 which will be split between ToughGuys’ Horse Sanctuary, Prospect Hospice and Naomi House Charities.
Thank you to everyone for helping with my Training and Sponsorship – already looking forward to next years event!

Notes & Further Information
ToughGuy, organised by Billy Wilson (aka Mr. Mouse) was first staged in 1986 and held on a 600 acre farm in Perton, Staffordshire and raises close to £200,000 for charity per event.
It is by far the most original and toughest test of its kind anywhere in the World. Run on the last Sunday in January, you will need every last ounce of mental and physical strength you can muster to rise to this challenge. Your fear of heights, tight spaces, fire, water and electricity will be tested to the max. Everyone bar the very toughest will be beaten!
