In February 2015, we will be joining Team 'TrekMorocco' on a 5 day challenge tackling the Atlas Mountains for The Mark Gorry Foundation.
The MGF and it's 'Love Your Balls' campaign is very close to our hearts and we are huge supporters of the foundation, working as a part of a bigger team to work towards Mark's goals of raising £1 million for charity whilst raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of Testicular Cancer. Mark was Leah's husband and just 24 when he lost his life to TC and we are determined to bring Mark's goals to life.
The MGF is now a huge part of both our lives as we begin our future together, with the whole of Mark's foundation and his legacy along for the journey!
Training has been tough and we've got a long way to go to improve our fitness levels enough to be able to complete this challenge. We've been out walking as much as possible, hanging off mountain faces, walking up big hills and have made numerous visits to the top of our favourite mountain - Snowdon! We've also managed to both lose a stone to help us reach the top of Mount Toubkal a bit quicker - another stone to go!
So, this challenge, is a massive change to our lifestyle and will be a huge sense of achievement for us both.
