I am taking part in the 2013 'Tough Guy Event' aka the safest most dangerous event in the world! to try to raise some money to support a project that I am involved in.

Northumbria University forms part of the Wallace group, which, along with 7 other Universities works on strategic international sport development projects.

The Wallace group works in partnership with UK Sport to deliver the Zambia IDEALS project (International Development, Education and Leaderships through Sport). Our students travel to Zambia on a placement to use their skills to engage with children and young people through the delivery of physical activity and sport to educate about HIV/AIDS. The project works in community sites around Lusaka; Kalingalinga, Chipata, Munali, Chawama, Ngombe, and Fountain of hope.

Not only will this fundraising assist the development of the programme and allow us to support students travelling to Zambia it allows us to purchase equipment for students to take into the community during their work.
