Howdy all,
So tomorrow I'll be running the
Spartan Beast Race, a 20+km off road run with 26 obstacles along the way, including icy water filled trench crawls and monkey bars.
I'm running to raise money for the charity
Cardiac Risk in the Young, who provide support for young adults diagnosed with life threatening heart conditions, as well as supporting families who have lost a loved one to
Sudden Cardiac Death.
They also provide free cardiac screenings for 14-35 years olds, to help diagnose heart conditions early, as a lot of people will have no idea they have a heart condition until something goes seriously tits up. I'm running with a friend who had exactly that happen to him. He was fit and healthy, and a keen runner. At the age of 26, he had just completed the Hastings Half Marathon when he went into cardiac arrest at the finish line. Fortunately he was saved as paramedics were with him almost immedietly, although he was technically dead for 7 minutes. More info
here.Anywho, nows the part where I beg for money
Anything you can spare would be massively appreciated, no matter how much.
If you would like to donate, you can send it via our fund raising page:
