For those of you who have known me for many years, you'll know that I am an active individual, highly competitive & absolutely hate any sort of long distance running. 

Over the last couple of years, due to football related injuries, I have had 2 operations, knee surgery & open elbow reconstructive surgery, the later taking nearly 6 months full recovery time, this certainly took it out of me...I needed to set myself a goal, a new challenge to get myself back on the fitness trail. 

Spartan Sprint Race and Back2TheTrenches are 2 of the toughest obstacle races in southern England through woodland, mud, water & more mud.

Spartan Sprint Obstacle Race is over 5km with 15 obstacles. Then 22 days later, Back2ToTrenches is over 10km with 25 obstacles to power through.

I will be part of a team of 5 Data Select employees pushing ourselves through mud, fire, water and much more.

The charity, Ataxia UK, is a charity close to the DataSelect hearts.  'Caring for today, researching for tomorrow'.  Ataxia means 'lack of order'.  People with this condition have problems with movement, balance, coordination & speech.  It is a progressive condition & currently there is no cure.  

Please also take a moment to view our team page aswell, link is below.

Please do give what ever you can to a worthy charity that is close to Data Select's heart.
