.The JCB Mud Run 2014.

Those of you who follow on instagram(@xameliax) will know that last weekend myself and my kicboxing team (+Joe as we had a drop out!) took part in the JCB Mud Run to raise some serious money for 8 amazing charities!

5 miles, 30 obstacles and one hell of a lot of mud!!!

We trained hard and on the day we laughed even harder, it was the most fun i’d had in ages! The course was a bit tougher than i’d anticipated with impossible slippy climbs, ab-sailing down banks using just a rope, crawling through tiny concrete tunnels and sinking swamps that if you weren’t careful would have you up to your neck but we all pulled together and made it through in 1 hour 35 minutes! 

The mud run entry fees went to the NSPCC and with over 2,700 entrants this year the event raised an incredible £51,000 for the children’s charity! As a group we each decided to fundraise for different charities including Breast Cancer Care, The Alzheimers Society, Motor-Neurone Disease and others and between us on the day our team had raised a whopping £1,000 which has continued to rise since!

Wehad so much fun and really feel as though we’ve made a major difference to our chosen charities that we will certainly be back next year to beat our time and raise even more money!

If you want to take a look at us getting covered in mud you can watch my muddy vlog right here!

After posting my photos on instagram loads of you wonderful people donated a couple of quid to my Just Giving page which is simply incredible. It’s one thing to support a friend, but to donate your hard earned pennies to a stranger is just amazing, so i wanted to say a HUGE thank you again to:

…and everyone else who sneakily donated anonymously, go give these guys some love for their generosity! Apologies if i’ve missed anyone - if you have donated or you do then drop me a tweet @xameliax and let me know so i can add you to the list!

If you enjoyed looking through these piccies or if my vlog made you smilethenplease donate just £1 to my Just Giving page which is still open! If everyone who sees this donates a few pennies then we can make a serious difference to Breast Cancer Care (a charity very close to my heart) and show the world the power of social media! 

You can DONATE £1 HERE if you’re feeling like a super special human today!

I can’t wait until next year…even if it did take me an hour to wash the dirt out of my hair!
