Tough call
20th August 2019

A team of six from HURST DOORS raised over £700 for their local Hull-based charity, Dove House Hospice when they completed the Tough Mudder 10-mile obstacle course and mud run challenge.

The team, comprised of Rob Edge, Shantelle Reay, Lucy Anderson, Emma McDonald, Emma Page and Taylor Allen. Rob, who works in the sales and admin department and who first suggested the challenge, said: “It sounds strange to say this, but a huge ‘thank you’ to Hurst Doors for allowing us to get bruised, dunked and even electrocuted in their name whilst managing to still have an amazing day. The sense of teamwork and camaraderie is something I will never forget. We pushed ourselves further than we thought we could, but it was more than worth it for such a fantastic cause.”

Dove House hospice provides care for adults across the East Riding of Yorkshire. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for patients by providing specialist, holistic care that is individually tailored to their needs.

Hurst Doors sponsored the event, paying for the team’s entry fees and printing special T-shirts for the day. The event served as a memorable team building exercise, providing an opportunity for staff members located in and outside of Hull to come together. Marketing manager Hayley Barker said: “The Tough Mudder is a notoriously difficult and challenging course, which is certainly not for the faint-hearted. We’re always looking for ways to give back to the local community where we can and it’s great to see the Hurst team actively demonstrating that, through the power of amazing team work, you can make a difference and achieve something special.”
