‘Tough Mudders’ at Anchor Vans fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK
 ‘Tough Mudders’ at Anchor Vans fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK 

A team from Anchor Vans is preparing to test their stamina by entering the London West Tough Mudder event on May 7th 2017, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.

14 team members, sponsored by MotoNovo Finance, will face a gruelling 12-mile course including a series of 20 fearsome obstacles — all while trudging through 500,000 litres of mud.

“This is no walk in the park,” said Managing Director Simon Joyce. “Our team has mixed abilities but the whole point of Tough Mudder is to work together. There simply is no other way to overcome the obstacles. It’s going to be a day we’ll never forget, especially as it’s to support a very important cause”.

Prostate Cancer UK is a charity close to the Anchor Vans team. In 2015, Simon, alongside his wife, Lucy, and brother, Mike, raised over £2,500 by competing in three triathlons.

Simon is particularly no stranger to lung-busting events like the Tough Mudder. He is currently training for his third Ironman which will be in Barcelona this September — an altogether different prospect to the conditions the team will face in May at Culden Faw.

A web page for individual donations has been set up with JustGiving at:
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/TeamAnchorVans. Anchor Vans will be matching all funds raised.

Representing the team are: Simon Joyce, Greg Joyce, Lindsay Joyce, Lucy Joyce, Robert Smith, Andy Tucker, Stephen Gladwin, Carl Brookes, Craig Mayne, Rob Gray, Antony Gray, Nathan Oakes and Aron Stroner and from MotoNovo: Kate Johnson.
