He's ready for mud, water and electric shocks!

The 20-year-old kicks off with his first two Tough Mudder challenges this Saturday and Sunday (April 30/May 1) as he battles courses featuring 10-12 miles of mud, water and challenging obstacles – including electric shocks.

Marcus, who works at The Wilkinson Partnership’s Market Square offices in Leighton Buzzard, will be starting his bid to raise much-needed funds for his chosen charity MacMillan Cancer at the two events at Fawley, near Henley-on-Thames.

There will follow six more Tough Mudders – May 21 (Midlands), June 25 (Scotland), July 9 (Dublin), August 20 (south west), September 10 (north west) and September 24 (London south).

Marcus says to be a great estate agent takes determination, commitment and plenty of mental grit – attributes he’ll also need to survive a Tough Mudder Challenge.

Explaining his choice of charity, he added: “The motivation is Macmillan Cancer Support which is a charity close to me.

“They looked after my great aunt in 2012 so it is not a recent motivation but I have supported the charity more since then.

“I am very excited to be taking part in all of these events, I think the nerves are outweigh​ed by that excitement!

“I will be running​ the first event this weekend solo, but the spirit of everyone at the events means it’s not hard to find a team to get you through!

“Because the event is for a cause close to my heart, it spurs me on through the tougher parts. The thought of knowing people are behind you, supporting you, makes the electric shocks a whole lot more bearable!”
