Tough Mudder is a hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle course designed by Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, determination, and camaraderie. Being a Mudder is all about taking on the obstacles in your life - we will be faced with mud, fire, ice-water and 10,000 volts of electricity. It's not only going to take physical strength but mental strength as well.

I know you're all thinking it and yes this is completely crazy... so why would I do this?

I have been inspired to do this challenge by some incredibly strong women in my life - my Mum who has suffered from M.E. for the past 15 years, my cousin Leanne who recently lost her best friend to cancer but closest to my heart is my dear friend Hayley who was diagnosed with cancer last year. She has had to face the hardest situations and choices imaginable and I am amazed by her courage, spirit and positivity. I remind myself every day how lucky I am and so, as she is tough enough to keep up her fight, I can use that strength to do this challenge and help those who need care and support through the toughest of life's experiences.

Macmillan nurses have been a fantastic support to Hayley throughout her treatment. The difference they make to the lives of patients is beyond measure and on Hayley's behalf, I want to say thank you and give what help I can to keep them being the angels they are. Please go to their website for more information and stories about their amazing work.

For a look into how my journey started, please check out my little campaign video designed by the wonderfully talented Lu Burnell.

Macmillan means a lot to both me and to Hayley and her family, so please dig deep and donate now to this wonderful cause.

Thank you xxx
