Hey All
Thanks for visiting our teams fundraising page!
We've got together to take on the Tough Mudder Urban 5K challenge (https://toughmudder.co.uk/events/what-is-tough-mudder-5k) to raise money for two great causes close to our hearts.
1 - Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) - This amazing charity intervenes in the lives of orphans and street children who are vulnerable to abuse, neglect and exploitation by criminals, traffickers, and extremists. They provide on the ground support through a variety of different services, including education, legal, mental and physical healthcare.
Please take a look at their website to see all the great work they do.

2 - Pancreatic Cancer UK - One of our team members father passed away to Pancreatic Cancer in 2014 and we're taking on this challenge in his memory and in support for all those effected worldwide.
Some facts on Pancreatic cancer really bringing home the need for us to help as much as we can ;
1) Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers – just 3-6% of those diagnosed survive for five years.
2) Survival has improved for most cancers over the last 40 years but not for pancreatic cancer
3) Pancreatic cancer has been underfunded for decades and receives less than 2% of overall cancer research funding.
