Adrenaline-junkies Sara and Mike to take part in Tough Mudder for Canine Partners
Posted 9 years ago in the Challenges, Events categories
Determined Sara Trott and Amputee Afghanistan veteran Mike Goody are set to crawl in mud and swim through ice in a Tough Mudder challenge to raise money for assistance dog charity Canine Partners.
Sara, 23, who is an Advanced Trainer here at Canine Partners and her boyfriend Mike, 30, now swimming full time in the hope of competing for Great Britain in the future, have signed up to the London West Tough Mudder and will take part in a 20km run jam-packed with army obstacles on Sunday 1 May.
The adventurous duo hope to raise at least £600 which will enable us to train more assistance dogs, transforming the lives of people with disabilities.
Mike said, “I’m looking forward to running for Canine Partners with my girlfriend Sara in hope of raising as much sponsorship as possible for them.
“I’ve seen first-hand how these dogs are able to improve the lives of the people with whom they are partnered and believe the Charity is an amazing cause.
“As Canine Partners isn’t government funded, the Charity has to raise all money themselves to help and improve people’s lives. Its amazing challenges just like this can help provide them with the ‘bread & butter’ funding they require to achieve this mission.
“I feel privileged and honoured to be able to represent Canine Partners at this event and raise as much as humanly possible.”
Added Sara, “Being an Advanced Trainer at Canine Partners, I am lucky enough to be part of the process of not only training the dogs, but putting together a partnership that is going to change someone’s life completely. Knowing that the dogs I train will go on to create great independence for someone and give them a life that they may not have been able to have before is fantastic.
“The more sponsorship we get means more money going towards Canine Partners therefore helping us grow and change even more people’s lives for the better. From buying essential training equipment to purchasing a young puppy, any amount of money will really make a huge difference to someone. If you are able to support us and donate then please do and we will be incredibly grateful.”
