The Maldon Mud Race takes place every year with participants from across Europe running, and more often than not crawling, across a 400m stretch of the River Blackwater in Essex. Run during low tide, the mud is inches thick and demands a great deal of stamina and determination from those who take part, who use the race to raise money for charities and worthwhile causes.
One of these participants was our employee Helen Bourne, who completed the race in honour of her late father, who consistently ran the race every year raising thousands for charity until he sadly passed away last year.
So far Helen has managed to raise over £350 for the Sue Ryder Hospice in Moggerhanger, Bedfordshire, who cared for her father in his final few weeks. She would like to thank everyone who supported her in completing this weekend’s event and hopes she has done her father proud – which we’re absolutely sure she has!
