Mud, fun and raising money!

Thank you from Simply Wigs

for all the money raised so far for cancer research uk.

The day had arrived. Saturday 3rd June had been looming on the calender for months. It was now time to don the pink t-shirts, put the glitter on and face the fact that we were going to get seriously muddy. Our Muddy Run Time was the 11:45am slot. We all travelled in convoy to Temple Newsam, which is fairly local to the Simply Wigs HQ. On arrival, we were overwhelmed by how many people were there to help raise money for this fabulous cause.
This gathering of people, all dressed in pink & glittered up, was a fabulous example of the kindness of human nature. Thousands of people gathered together to do good. It was a wonderful event to be part of.
There is no denying though we were nervous. We have never seen so much mud. And why didn’t anybody tell us about the high cargo net we had to get our backsides over? Emma having to be coaxed down by Becca, was not a site that we will ever forget. It was such a lovely, happy day.
Full of people gathering together to raise money for a worthy cause.

Check out our pictures showing the SW team looking fabulously muddy. Although not with us on the day, Jodie & Courtney were supporting us from their holidays. They were thinking about us as we were getting buckets of mud thrown at us!

Is that a nervous laugh Becca?

‘Muddy Run is different from pretty much any other running race you’ll ever do.
Does it require some special preparation?
Not really. Just a special attitude to make it a fun day.’

Make up on, laces tied, our time slot was called and we went to the warm up.

Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a series of women-only events raising money for research into all 200 types of cancer.
Over the past 20 years, more than 8 million women have taken part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, raising over £547 million to fund the charity’s life-saving work.

Is that Emma Louise under that torrent of mud?

Was the make up really worth it?

However dirty you get, this is beating cancer
