CHALLENGE #06B
Tough Mudder (16.08.2014) - FUTURE CHALLENGE
THE CHALLENGETough Muddering Challengers:
Paul McKeown - Peter Lewis - Marino Katsouris - Bobby Dedman - Marianna Katsouris - Bella Kardasis - Tristan Elmhirst - Tara Vowles - Harrie Papadamou Tough Mudder is a 12 mile-long obstacle course designed by the special forces to test all round strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. The challenge appealed to us as it relies heavily on teamwork and is a little bit more ‘interesting’ than just running a distance! Nobody can get through mud, fire, ice-water, 10,000 volts of electricity or get over 12 foot walls and through underground mud tunnels alone! This challenge isn’t a race, we want it to be fun and we want our team to enjoy it! Apparently only 78% of entrants successfully complete each challenge. We want to be in that 78%! |
THE CHALLENGER
NAME - PAUL MCKEOWN
Over the past few years I have become more aware of human trafficking stories in the media. From horrific documentaries including forced labour and prostitution to newspaper articles and films such as ‘Taken’, ‘The Seasoning House’ and ’12 Years a Slave’ have gradually brought the issue more into my daily thoughts. When choosing my charity for Challenge12’s third year I came across ‘Hope for Justice’. They are providing a service that desperately needs to be made unnecessary... They are doing nothing less than fighting monsters. |
THE CHARITYHOPE FOR JUSTICE:
Hope for Justice is an anti-human trafficking organisation working to uncover and abolish the hidden crime of modern-day slavery. As a non-governmental organisation (NGO) we gather intelligence and assist in the process of removing victims from exploitation within the UK. Human trafficking is not someone else’s problem, it’s happening in our communities, in our neighbourhoods, in our country. |
