Probably one of the toughest courses known to man, the obstacle course for Tough Mudder Midlands (Belvoir Castle) will make even a veteran Mudder question their own sanity. With extreme mud, hills for days and obstacles that will work every inch of you from top to toes, you’ll be glad Tough Mudder is not a race.  

We have 30 very brave participants taking part and each team member will be raising a minimum of £300 for their chosen ‘Gif of AV’ charity, listed below.

I'm raising funds for Team Jak - Jak was a normal happy healthy teenager, who enjoyed playing in goals with his local and county school football team and playing tuba in his school band until August 2014 when he took suddenly and seriously ill. Devastatingly Jak was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer: Gamma Delta T-Cell Lymphoma.

Five months later, Jak gained his wings.

Throughout his illness, Jak demonstrated a remarkable strength and positivity and showed extraordinary courage and selflessness. He raised nearly £100,000 for various cancer charities including CLIC, Sick Kids Friends Foundation, Bloodwise and Comic Relief while he was ill.

His desire to create a positive legacy grew, and six days before he died, Jak unveiled plans to support other young people walking the same journey.

He called his charity Team Jak and charged his Mum, Allison, with the job of building it and creating Jak’s Den – a purpose-built facility where young cancer patients and those with related illnesses, and their families and friends, could go to escape from the traumas of treatment and have fun in a clean and safe environment.
