Emerge from lockdown with a bang by trying something new, challenging yourself, and supporting a good cause.

Waterloo Uncovered combines a world-class archaeology project at Waterloo with support for the military community. Each year we assemble an international team of archaeologists, soldiers & veterans to excavate and understand the remains of the 200 year old battle site. Archaeology offers opportunities to everyone no matter their ability or injury, so all participants learn new skills, build confidence, and open up to new possibilities.Through it, WU helps veterans with issues like welfare and transition, and transforms recovery into discovery.

For the 1815 challenge you are asked to do something as a play on the year this great Battle was fought.  I have therefore decided to run 1.8 miles for 15 days.  With the hope that by the end of the 15 days I can run my 1.8 miles in 15 minutes! We shall see! I'm already pretty tired.

I am also hoping that my three small people will join in with doing a random act of kindness 15 times across 18 days! I have asked them to think of things, so for some targeted people, I should probably apologise now! But I will keep this updated with what they get up to!

Thank you so much for taking interest in this amazing cause and if you want to find out more: www.waterloouncovered.com/1815-challenge
