Rochdale Round Table raise £11,000 running through mud

Rochdale Round Table complete the Tough Mudder challenge

Nine members of Rochdale Round Table, including Chairman Christian Morris completed the Tough Mudder challenge earlier this year which involved twelve miles of mud, twenty-three obstacles and more mud.

They finished it in a very respectable four hours but more importantly raised over £11,000 for Christian's chosen charity ‘Children With Cancer UK’.

Jon Geldard, Rochdale Round Table said: “We are now preparing for the annual “Christmas Can Collection” which starts at the beginning of December.

“Last year we collected nearly two tonnes of food and donated it to the Food Bank.

“We also raised nearly £600 for charity over those two weeks too.

“Hopefully, the kind donations will continue this year and the Tablers can hand over even more food to the Food Bank.”

Father Christmas on his sled will be giving sweets to the children, and we will be playing Christmas songs along with volunteers collecting the food.

Collections start at 6.30pm and we will be visiting:

Monday 4 December Caldershaw
Tuesday 5 December Clay Lane Area
Wednesday 6 December Shawclough

Monday 11 December Burnedge
Tuesday 12 December Nordale Park area
