Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in next year's Tough Mudder in Dumfries with the Tough Mudder Warriors, to raise money for Children In Poverty Inverclyde.

Inverclyde contains a disproportionate number of the poor, the vulnerable and the desperate. Child poverty in Inverclyde is at an all time high of 26%,increased from 24% in 2011 making the district joint 4th poorest council area in Scotland.  None of these children will enjoy a family holiday. Children in Poverty Inverclyde pays for children and their families to stay in a lovely holiday park in Hunters Quay in Dunoon across the River Clyde, where they will experience and enjoy the beautiful scenery and spectacular views of the Argyllshire Hills and Firth of Clyde and can relax for a while.

This is a double challenge for me, as not only is it the first time I will have challenged my body to this much exertion, but I'm doing it as a sufferer of HypoPARAthyroidism which affects the body's levels of calcium, phosphates and magnesium which are necessary for every nerve and muscle in the body to work properly. So please wish me extra luck!!
