Hi everyone! So as you know i do tough mudder annually to raise money for local charities. This year i have managed to convince my wife Pamela meikle into doing tough mudder half on the Saturday this year. Then me and Andrew Shuttleton, Bryn Hood and Daniel Richards are all doing the full event on sunday.

This year I will be raising money for Vale of Leven Autism & Aspergers forum (VOLAAF). This is a local charity I am actively involved with. It's an amazing charity that my family use frequently. I have 3 children 2 of which are on the Autism Spectrum and they love the youth clubs they provide.

As well as the great youth clubs this charity provides, it also hosts a parent/carer support group, a toddler group and hosts various events and training for parents, carers, school staff and other professionals involved with autistic kids.

We would be very grateful if you could spare some spare £££ to donate to the day to day running of their Centre (West of Scotland Autism & Asbergers Centre). They are currently in the process of creating a resource room and lending library for members, so any donations will help with this.
