We do our bit for Cancer Research

On the 12 September we took part in the local “Crazy knockout” in aid of Cancer Research, in the nearby village of Cheddleton.

Donning our best sports gear (well stuff we didn’t mind getting wet and muddy) and team t-shirts, we took part in various races involving hay bales, wheel barrows, space hoppers and ending with a very wet assault course.

There were 12 teams taking part from various local businesses, and with us the newbies to the field, they all thought they could take us down. Little did they know that we had some of the most competitive team members going and they weren’t going to let us go down without a fight (judging from the bruises and sore limbs the day after they definitely fought!). There were a lot of crossed-fingers hoping the rain would hold, but in the end the weather did us proud as did the team, and we raised over £3,000 in aid of a very worthy cause.

We had a fantastic time, and after coming a very respectable 4th place some of us are already in training for next years event. Especially the competitive amoungst us!
