I am doing the Grim 8 off-road run in Aldershot on Saturday 6th December. http://www.grimchallenge.co.uk/grim8/
This involves running, wading and crawling through mud on army land. So not just a simple 8 mile run! As most people have asked me if I'm doing it for charity (not understanding why else I'd be doing it!) I've decided to exploit the run for this very purpose. And there's no backing out if people have sponsored me!
I've decided to split the sponsorship money between Cancer Research and Dreamflight. I'm sure you're all familiar with the work of Cancer Research.
Here's some info about Dreamflight:
Dreamflight is a registered UK charity whose purpose is to take seriously ill and disabled children on their 'Holiday of a Lifetime' to the theme parks of Central Florida. Lots of other charities do some wonderful things like funding research or purchasing medical equipment, but Dreamflight believes that fun and joy are just as important – especially for children who perhaps can't wait long enough for the breakthrough they need or whose illnesses and treatments have brought pain, distress and disruption to their lives.
