Support Fisher House with Born Survivor obstacle race

Expect mud, expect hills, expect water, but don’t expect gimmicks; this course is the sort of challenge the British Army face in their training every day.’ – Born Survivor website

Born Survivor is a gruelling sports event, designed to challenge even the most experienced fitness fanatic. An obstacle course set over a span of ten kilometres, it is the ultimate test of physical and mental strength. The event is one that the British Army would come face-to-face with every day within their training, and has been created by British Royal Marines Commandos.

On 24 September, Born Survivor will be held in Manchester. Set within the beautiful 1,000 acres of Weston Park, this is sure to be an event to remember!

Since its opening in 2013, Fisher House at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham has given more than 9,000 nights of accommodation to the families of military patients. The QE is home to the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, meaning it is the first port of call for all of the UK’s injured and ill military personnel. Fisher House provides a ‘home away from home’ for military families to stay in whilst their loved ones receive treatment in the hospital.

Receiving no funding from the NHS or MoD, Fisher House relies entirely upon donations, with original large donations from Help for Heroes and the Fisher House Foundation in the US.

Justine Davy, Head of Fundraising at QEHB Charity, said: “We are delighted to be supported by Born Survivor. Born Survivor is an event designed by members of the UK military themselves, making this a truly apt partnership. On behalf of QEHB Charity, I want to thank Born Survivor for choosing us as a beneficiary, and to wish them good luck for their first event in the midlands; we can’t wait!”
