A group of 4 lads from the Island are in for a “muddy good time” as they train hard and prepare themselves to take on 10 miles, 25 obstacles and lots of mud all in aid of raising much needed operational funds for Suicide Prevention & Intervention IOW the Islands front line charity.
Danny Woodford, Josh Meggison, Ben Lves & Sean Walsh will travel to Holmbush Farm in West Sussex on September 19 th to take on the event all in the name of suicide prevention, something that is close to the hearts of all 4 members.
The course it self consists of 10 miles of hills, thick mud pits and 25 obstacles to overcome, including ice cold tanks where you have to completely submerge yourself in twice, then take on the electric shock therapy consisting of dangling
wires delivering 10,000 volt punches in order to get to the other end with no choice but to run through it.

Danny contacted SPIIOW to say him and his 3 friend wanted to take on this event to help raise much needed operational funds to for the front line team of SPIIOW. This is no mean feat for anyone to take on, and I think to date is the hardest event anyone has taken on for us to help raise funds – and one we all thank
them for. They have set a target of £5,000 to raise and we are asking anyone if they can

I’m attempting to raise as much money for SPIIOW charity that is extremely close to my heart. I have called on them myself when I could see no other way out from overpowering and scary thoughts of suicide I found myself having. This charity only works with funding and kind donations to pay for vital lifesaving equipment and training. I want to not only raise as much as I can for Suicide Prevention and Intervention IOW (SPIIOW) to assist in there quality community engagements but to also get their name and the work they do out
in the community’s around the Isle of Wight , to help others when they feel they have nowhere or nobody to turn to. I would be extremely grateful for any donations and support offered to our team inSPIration-IOWwe all know someone that has been effected by mental health or suicide.
