My Story
A team of 8 from Ramboll UK's Birmingham office have signed up to take part in the Spring 2020 Wolf Run (Saturday 4th April). The team members are: Alec Higgins, Carlos His Novo, Cecilie Illum, Chris Tooth (that's me), Emma Jones, Ollie Creed, Tim King and Tom Whelligan-Fell. The team are supporting my decision to use the event to raise money for Cancer Research UK. So what's a Wolf Run (I didn't know either)? It's a run through Woods, over Obstacles, swimming across a Lake and more running across Fields. 6 miles in total. What the name fails to mention is mud. Lots of mud, sludge, muck and more mud. See more here: https://thewolfrun.com/springwolf/ Just to be clear, I've not done anything like this before and am certainly not an athlete! This will be a real personal challenge for me. Training is happening through the winter months. Bit of a first - running for a reason other than trying to catch the train to work! I've chosen to use the event to raise money for Cancer Research UK because cancer has affected our family over the years. From uncles, friends, father-in-law and my dad. Most recently it has struck my 8 year old nephew, a keen footballer, whose treatment has resulted in a significant mass of muscle being removed from his leg. He's a brave lad that's been through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and operations. All goes to show that cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m raising money right now for Cancer Research UK. Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
