This year, three awesome teams tackled Tough Mudder to fundraise for Mummy's Star
Tough Mudder is a hardcore obstacle course designed to test strength, stamina, mental grit... and your comfort with getting muddy!
Our Community & Fundraising Co-ordinator Karen attended a Tough Mudder day at Heaton Park, Manchester this summer to cheer on some awesome Star supporters...
It was a mixture of weather on the day, but it didn’t seem to matter to the people taking part or spectating. It's so easy to have a great day out at Tough Mudder; there was seating and gazebos, music being played, food & drink stalls, and a couple of freebies to explore too. Well worth bringing along friends and family; you can even follow your runners along the course to cheer your challengers on!
The course consists of a 5 or 10k obstacle course with a (literally) electrifying finish. At the end, participants get a medal, headband, branded Tough Mudder t-shirt and a drink to celebrate.
This year we had three sets of fundraisers taking on the challenge. I went to cheer on Ross & Sam, my husband and brother-in-law, who wanted to fundraise for Mummy's Star because...
"This challenge is no where as tough as what the families go through."
We also had a duo from BCLP, who have chosen us as their charity of the year and took on Tough Mudder as part of their year of fundraising activities. We also had a team of 20 from Go Hard Boxing and Fitness including our CEO and founder Pete.
Every participant had a fantastic time and finished with a smile. As a spectator I had great fun watching and cheerleading, and I'm looking forward to doing it again!
