Tough Mudder North West 19 October 2024

Matt and a team of 12 ran successfully through the course but only after helping cars stuck in the mud (including us). The ground was an absolute quagmire. The team completed the course in two groups, 4 of them went ahead but the other 8 stayed together to tackle the obstacles. Everyone finished safely and reconvened at the White Lion pub along with the team from “walk for epilepsy” to celebrate their acheivement. The mudder team raised  £3720 which is a fabulous achievement. We would like to thank our sponsor MPR Construction Plant Equipment Repair Specialist for funding the Tee-shirts. 

Walk 60 miles for Epilepsy

On 18 October 0430, Jackie Stubbs, Dave Yoxhall of the White Lion Pub set off, together with a group of 8 friends to walk 60 miles from Llangollen to Crewe. A challenge with the aim of raising awareness of epilepsy / SUDEP and our work to support young people, and to raise vital funds for us to continue. There were a few injuries and health scares but they all showed great spirit, and friendship and  finished together at the pub On the 19 October at about 5pm  They were joined later by the Mudder team and together they celebrated a fantastic weekend of awareness and fund raising. The walkers raised a magnificent £7715.80 so far.

The funds raised by both teams so far, combined add up to an unbelievable £11435.80. AMAZING!!!!

We would like to thank our sponsors The White Lion, SCP Private Hire Ltd. Acorn Motor Group, FocusK9Academy for funding the event and The Wheatsheaf in Whitchurch for their hospitality on the first night.
