Lucy and Rosie have decided to do the 10K endurance Mud Runner on Sunday 8th May 2011!

"A supreme test of fitness !  Participants will complete a 6ish mile gruelling cross country course interspersed with ten different tests of strength, endurance and co-ordination."

The fitness tests will be spaced across the whole course (about one every kilometre) and include obstacles to climb, up, over, round, under, swim and through.

It is all in aid of a fantastic cause - Birmingham Childrens Hospital's Heart Appeal.

Keeping up with the growing demand though is proving very difficult. This is the hospital needs to replace their ageing facility with a new state-of-the-art one – and add a second cardiac theatre. This will be a new ‘hybrid’ cardiac theatre, the first of its kind at a UK children’s hospital. Here they’ll be able to perform surgical procedures and keyhole techniques simultaneously, offering exciting new horizons for the conditions they treat. It will also reduce the number of operations that children may need – and their lengths of stay in hospital."
