Colin Gibson, following the race
|
On 30 December 2007, Colin Gibson
entered the "Mad" Maldon Mud Race. This mud race is organised by a
community in Maldon as part of its holiday celebrations, with
competitors donning a variety of wacky costumes and raising money
for charity.
It is a foot race across the Blackwater Basin at low tide.
Conditions were not good with competitors getting very muddy, very
cold and very tired. You will see from the photographs that
Colin competed in a suit and bowler hat!
Colin raised £830 in total, which will be split between the
competition's charities and Barnardo's.
This fundraising event was included
on the Barnardo's website and the image on the left was the
chosen image for the entire festive fundraising section.
