I've decided to run the "GRIM 8 Mile off-road challenge in Aldershot on the 7th December 2008. Not just a 8 Mile run the course is described as (wording from website www.grimchallenge.co.uk/grim8)
"This land is used to test Army vehicles so expect it to be interesting! You will reach a long hill shortly after the start before descending again eventually reaching a water filled ravine. You will run on over puddle-strewn paths before having to crawl under camouflage netting. You'll eventually reach some man-made mounds before arriving at and running through some rather large puddles. Expect to get very wet! You'll run on to the fast vehicle driving circuit where it is rocky underfoot. This brings you to some more large areas of water and the finish area."

If you would like to sponsor me thats great, i'm aiming to raise £500.00 so if 500 people sponsor £1.00 each then i've met my target easy. PLEASE forward to any friends/family who you think may be interested in sponsoring me.
I have decided to raise money for:
The Injured Jockeys Fund ...
Providing care, compassion and financial help to injured jockeys.
Founded in 1964 following the devastating accidents to Tim Brookshaw, and then Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National, the IJF has since spent over £16m in helping over 1000 jockeys whose injuries have forced some of them to give up riding.
Our aim is to maintain this ethos with continuing support for our existing beneficiaries and to provide immediate and effective help to all newly injured jockeys in whatever way is appropriate to ensure a reasonable quality of life for them and their families.
