“There was less mud and water, which was a bit of a shame but it was still great fun. Only two of us did the swim in the lake, me being one of them.

“It’s very important for me to do as many obstacles as I can as a personal challenge as we are running for Ethan.

“We are looking forward to the summer Wolf Run as 65 people are in the team so far, all raising money for our little boy.
