Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good

There is only one thing I can think of in terms of making money for good, Tough Mudder. Tough Mudder is a grueling 10- 12 mile run through different obstacles. Each obstacle is designed by the British Armed Forces to test your strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. The Tough Mudder event proceeds go towards the Wounded Warrior Project. A worthy cause in my book and my dad’s book as well, since he ran in Tough Mudder with his buddies. The only thing I told him was to not die.

                The creators of Tough Mudders felt that running a marathon was boring. I agree with them all you do in a marathon is run anyway why not do it, through mud, ice, freezing water and 10,000 volts of electricity. That’s right they do that in Tough Mudder and my dad can personally say that shocked by 10,000 volts is like being hit with a 2x4. Tough Mudder is not something to be taken lightly. It is a serious event that if you are not ready for, you will get hurt.

                Tough Mudder can be fun as long as you have friends with you to share in the pain. Though remember no mudder left behind so help your fellow teammate. Once you complete the Tough Mudder challenge you will get an orange head band, a strong sense of accomplishment, and a cold glass of beer at the finish line. To date Tough Mudder has raised over 5 million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. I hope this great event continues for many more years. Maybe one day I’ll be in good enough shape to do Tough Mudder myself. Now join me in the Tough Mudder pledge.
