ToughGuy 2010 Sponsorship
“The most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world”
On the 31st of January 2010 I will again embark the ToughGuy challenge – a punishing 8 mile mix of cross-country, water course and SAS designed assault obstacles designed to physically and mentally exhaust you.
“This event requires you to sign a DEATH warrant”
Having completed this for the first time last year in temperatures of -5 and finishing 1,139th out of 3,500 runners in a time of just over two hours, I have been training furiously over the past 3 months and my aim this year is to finish even higher up the field with a sub 2 hour time.
This year as well as setting myself a new personal best challenge, I would also like to raise sponsorship in the process.
50% of money raised automatically goes to the Horse Sanctuary, who rescue and look after retired horses and donkeys, it is also their land we are taking-over for the event and so seems fair we give something back.
The remaining 50% I have decided to split equally between The Prospect Hospice who bringing dedicated end of life care to the people of its community in Swindon, and Naomi House, who provides support to children, with life-limiting conditions, and their families from across the Wessex Region.
If you would like to sponsor my attempt, please visit the on-line link below:

I cannot stress enough, please note the word ‘attempt’, as ever with this event I cannot guarantee that I will actually be able to complete the course as its very tough, but in the spirit of fund-raising I will take you hard-earned money anyway!
If anyone does fancy helping my training, I intend to run the Stockbridge 8 mile on Sunday 17th January 2010.
Update 18/01/2010 – I successfully completed the Stockbridge 8-mile x-country event in 64 minutes
I will of course update you on my progress once I’ve recovered from the event in the first week of February.
