Story
Corinne, Jay and Craig are taking on the Tough Mudder challenge. The North West is the most muddy course and we want to raise awareness of this amazing charity that grants wishes for children.
We haven't set a target as we have asked alot of friends and family already this year but every penny counts.
Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile obstacle course designed to test all-around
strength, stamina, teamwork, and mental grit. Tough Mudder is Probably
the Toughest Event on the Planet.

If you’ve run a Tough Mudder®, you know how much Arctic Enema® can suck on a cold day. Or how the wires of Electroshock Therapy® don’t exactly tickle. But you also know the sense of accomplishment you feel when you get all your teammates up Everest or when you make it across Funky Monkey℠ for the first time. There’s no greater feeling than giving it your all and crossing the finish line together.
Every year, we add new obstacles to our roster to keep you on your toes. In 2014, insane new obstacles like Fire in Your Hole and Pyramid Scheme will test your physical toughness, mental grit and camaraderie. And for the first time ever, you'll get to fly through fire - if you're a Legionnaire.

Starlight brightens the lives of seriously and terminally ill children by wish granting and also by providing fun, entertainment, laughter and distraction for children in every children’s hospital ward and hospice throughout the United Kingdom. All Starlight’s activities are aimed at distracting children from the pain, fear and isolation they can often feel as a result of their illnesses.
Together with healthcare professionals, we have developed a programme of year-round entertainment and distraction which helps over 500,000 children every year who are hospitalised for whatever reason. Sick children cheer, boo and hiss their way through Starlight Pantomimes, forget their pain and worry at Starlight Parties, play games and watch films on Starlight Fun Centres, take their minds off treatment with Starlight Distraction Boxes, and enjoy much-needed breaks from hospital on Starlight Escapes.
“Often treatment of cancer or other serious illnesses in children involves unpleasant and painful procedures; it is very difficult to make a child happy at this time. This is what Starlight does best in hospitals and hospices all over the country.” Leading Consultant Children’s Cancer Specialist
