So with a big grin and a flick of my hair why am I so keen to enter this hell on earth race?! Well.. For starters I think it's that I have that little spark of insanity that drives one to seek real adventure!
When I first heard about this race a few years ago instantly I decided I had to do it one day.
Why now though.. After being sick for just 9 months my mum passed away this year (Aug 2017) aged 58.
Her parting words to me were "The secret to life is excitement,
Walk the path less traveled,
See the beauty that surrounds you,
Enjoy each step,
Stand tall and believe
Create your own reality"
She was always my best friend, my number one supporter, and encourager of all things crazy, unusual and fun.
So with Mum with me in spirit, still cheering on every mad idea, I'm going to live life by those words and this seems a pretty damn good place to start.
