A 20 strong team from Toolstation will take on the gruelling Tough Mudder challenge this Saturday (12th August) to help raise money for the company’s charity partner, Macmillan Cancer Support.
The event will see the team tackle 13 obstacles over a 5km course at the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire, overcoming icy water, extreme mud, fire, electricity, rope climbing and much more.
A £7500 fundraising goal has been set by the team , and supporters are welcome to donate through the team’s Just Giving page. The money raised could pay for a Macmillan nurse for over six weeks, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical, and emotional support.
Toolstation MD Angela Rushforth, who will be participating in the challenge, says: “We’re always looking for new ways to support the fantastic work that Macmillan Cancer Support provides to those living with cancer. This Tough Mudder is all about collective teamwork and whether we’re being zapped by electricity or clambering over 13 obstacles, we’re determined that we finish the course as a group. We’ve already raised a third of our fundraising target and with just over a month to go we are hopeful that we’ll raise the full amount.”
Since launching the partnership in 2020, Toolstation has raised over £1.5 million for the charity.
