In a bid to dispel the notion that PRs are all air-kissing champagne-quaffing types, a team of us decided to enter Commando Challenge a couple of months back. Since then, Paul, Emma, Beth, James and I have been out pounding the streets, and even subjecting ourselves to British Military Fitness classes in a bid to beat the likes of Citigate Dewe Rogerson this Sunday.

For those that have never come across the event, Commando Challenge involves running seven miles around a Royal Marines assault course through bogs, rivers and submerged concrete cylinders - not to mention tackling the fearsome sheep dip.

Team Berkeley is raising money for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust and Help for Heroes. If you’d like to make a donation - however big or small - for these worthy causes, you can do so here.
