David Ransted has said Hello. Good luck with the Help For Heroes day. I am raising money for H4H by taking part in the Mad Maldon Mud Race across the River Blackwater in Essex on 27th December. Last year I raised more than £1,200 for H4H and am hoping to set a new record next year. This is my 7th Mad Maldon Mud Race. It's cold, wet and very muddy, but it's a great laugh, especially for the spectators! I'm attaching my JustGiving web page where you can see more information on the event - how about sponsoring me!! All the best for your H4H day - great work. Cheers, David. http://www.justgiving.com/David-Ransted
