Dear friends,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page.

I've gone a bit crazy and signed myself up for the North West Tough Mudder on 13th September 2015! For those of you who haven't heard of Tough Mudder, it's a 20km military style obstacle course. Not only is it just short of a half marathon, it involves 25 obstacles involving lots of mud (obviously!), ice pools, fire and even electrocution! If you want to see what I've got myself into and to have a good laugh at my expense, have a look at this (copy and paste the link!):

I'm doing this mental event in aid of Breast Cancer Care (www.breastcancercare.org.uk), a charity who do amazing work to support those affected by breast cancer. They combine the personal experiences of people affected by breast cancer with clinical expertise to provide valuable information along with emotional and practical support. They also campaign for the improvement in standards of breast cancer care and support, and promote the importance of early detection.

After a close family member was diagnosed with breast cancer in the early stages and successfully treated in 2013, I really understand how this extra support and the campaign to raise awareness for early detection can make a huge difference to those affected. It is important to me that I can raise as much money as I possibly can to contribute towards Breast Cancer Care continuing with their fantastic efforts.

Thank you so much in advance for your generosity and I would really appreciate your help towards me reaching (and hopefully exceeding!) my target to raise £1000 for a great charity.
