Local Superstars Conquer Mud Run and Raise Over £310 for The Happy Mums Foundation!
Two young local heroes, Betsy Bruce(12) and Stewie Bruce (10), have shown incredible grit and determination by tackling the challenging Gelt Gladiator mud run – all for a fantastic cause!
The intrepid duo from Carlisle set their sights on raising £200 for The Happy Mums Foundation, a social enterprise dedicated to supporting mums and mums-to-be in the local community with their mental health. Not only did they bravely conquer the mud-filled obstacles, but they smashed their fundraising target, collecting an impressive £310!
“I even lost my trainer at one point, but I managed to find it again. It was definitely very muddy!”
Stewie Bruce – Age 10
This incredible amount will help The Happy Mums Foundation provide much-needed peer support group access for over 70 mums and mums-to-be or cover the annual cost of training and supporting two amazing volunteers who provide invaluable help to families across Cumbria.
“It was tough but a lot of fun to take part in the Gelt Gladiator for Happy Mums, my mum has worked with them for a few years now and we feel really proud to be able to support them. Thank you to all our friends and family who sponsored us”
Betsy Bruce – Age 12
Lucinda Bray, Managing Director of The Happy Mums Foundation said: “Maternal mental health can affect the whole family, to have children appreciate this and want to help by raising funds for us is fantastic. They are a credit to their community, we are extremely proud of our ‘Happy Mini’s’. Their dedication and fundraising success will make a real difference to the lives of many local mums.”
Happy Mums provides peer support groups for mums and Mums-to-be to share how they really feel without judgement.
