After a three year break, I've decided to don the polyester running suit one more time and head for the hills of the Lake District with the UCL teams taking part in this year's UK Challenge.  Having mostly  forgotten the pain of doing it last time round,  I naively believe I can still skim through hills, valleys and lakes like Johnny Weissmuller. So before I get to the event and reality takes over, I'd be extremely grateful if you could spare a few minutes to donate a few pounds to this year's nominated charity, which is the Invictus Games Foundation. 

Invictus charity information
In 2008, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, had just completed his first deployment in Afghanistan. His experiences there with the many Wounded Injured and Sick Servicemen and women had a profound impact and he resolved to do something.The Invictus Games were born. In London 2014, 411 competitors from 13 nations took part in the first Games.Sports recovery is a proven method to accelerate and reinforce rehabilitation and participation in an Invictus Games is transformative for competitors and their friends and family. It supports long-term improvements in physical and mental health, provides opportunities to inspire and motivate others and helps servicemen and women re-engage with their families and their community. We can't help these wounded, inured and sick servicemen and women transform themselves through sport without the incredible generosity of supporters, so huge thanks for helping make this huge difference in their lives.
