Mike celebrates his 50th birthday Saturday on the 14th Jan and is racing 108 miles of the Pennine Way through snow, ice and mud to raise funds for Longtown Mountain Rescue Team. Darrens Dash regulars will probably remember the red jackets and friendly faces of Longtown Mountain Rescue Team who provide the Mountain Safety cover for that event and the BBMC but they also provide a 24 hour, 365 days a year all weather search and rescue facility throughout Herefordshire, Shropshire, Monmouthshire and the Black Mountains . The 108-mile MR Spine Challenger Race is a mountain ultrathon like no other. Have a look at this 'teaser' of the main event to see what Mike may be up against:

Any amount of sponsorship would be appreciated - the current forecast is for snow and ice, but I'm sure the fundraising will spur Mike on in this gruelling challenge
