Default Tough Mudder Sponsorship request??

Hi Everyone, (not sure if we can drum up sponsorship or not, but i'll post it till i get asked to remove it.)

Myself and 4 friends are taking part in this and are raising money for Yorkhill Children's Hospital
The reason behind it is that they do fantastic work in Scotland for helping unfortunate, sick and severely Ill children. (just so you know what it is, http://toughmudder.co.uk/events/scotland/)

I'm raising the money as my Youngest niece had her heart fail at 4 months old, she required a transplant and pacemaker to allow her to live, and the work yorkhill did to save her life.
i'm delighted to say that visually you wouldn't be able to tell her apart from any other 2 and a half year old, but she still is on a transplant heart and pacemaker to stay alive
and recent tests are showing that the transplant is not fully working and may need replaced far sooner than originally expected. (if you aren't aware of what happened there is more to read on my just giving page)

This is why i've set a target of £1300 as work will mat £700 of it,
this will give Yorkhill £2000 (last year i raised £3000, as much as i'd love to raise that again this year i can't do it on my own!)

There are a few things going on in the background as well to help raise extra funds:

My hair hasn't been cut for over a year and its now long enough to tie back/put behind my ears. I will be getting this cut before the night before the event, but if i can hit target of £1300 my hair will be shaved to a number 3 (so i can still seem professional at work)

The team (the 4 of us) are going under the team name "Monkey Butlers" and to keep with the name we have got tops made up (based on Rugby 7's tops) to look like Butler outfits. These have got corporate sponsors advertising on the back as the companies donated very generously for the spaces. After the event a 5th top will be made and auctioned off (it wasn't my original idea but one of the companies sponsoring says they want to bid and have it up in their office!) so more details of that to come.

this is the website: https://www.justgiving.com/AdamRussell2012

any amount would be greatly recieved,

Thank you & cheers

Adam/ Rusty

p.s i'll take the go-pro with me and hopefully end up in some of their pictures, if so i'll post them up!

Wanted to attend in Tough Mudder as well but my friends are too much girls I guess and said "NO" when I asked them to attend with me in team....although it was a bit of a relief knowing that I "don't have to" do it
