TOUGH ENOUGH TO CARE

This charity (TETC) is a local Dudley based charity with meetings at Dudley & Kingswinford that is dealing with men’s mental
health issues.
Two lads from PP David’s firm undertook this Challenge on Saturday 14th August which is called “Tough Mudder”. It is 10
miles of 25 challenging obstacles in the mud and promotes teamwork. The Club agreed to sponsor them for £200.

They aimed to raise £1000 which would fund the training of 4 volunteers or pay for one peer to peer group for 12 months.

Their leader says…
“What a Brilliant day Saturday was, 10 Miles, 25 Obstacles, Plenty of Mud, -14 degree ice baths, Electric shock therapy
and plenty more to challenge us all. I can proudly say we completed Tough Mudder as a team from start to finish which was
the main objective of the day to help support
Tough Enough To Care and raise awareness of
Team work is required to tilt the tubes over.
Men’s mental health. We left NO man behind. I
would like to thank Dave and all at the Dudley
Rotary Club for donating to support this great
cause. You have managed to help us raise over
£2400 (including gift aid) that will help support
those who need it the most. I hope you all enjoy
the pics and videos, have a good laugh at my
expense as I am still aching bad”

The Club simply says “Well done” to the team
and presume that they enjoyed it!
