Print8 December 2015
The call is out to splash and make cash for next year’s McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Mud Madness, Northern Ireland’s messiest “off-road” challenge, which is holding four events across two days in April next year, after it was revealed that a massive £46,000 was raised by the events in 2015 alone for the charity Marie Curie.
Over the past four years, £120,000 has been raised by McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes. The twice-yearly event is one of the most popular and talked about adventure experiences, which supports Marie Curie nurses working night and day, in people’s homes across Northern Ireland and in their Belfast Hospice offering vital emotional support specialist round-the-clock care.
Held at the Foymore Lodge in Portadown, children aged six to 11 years old can enter the McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes Mini Mud Madness on Saturday, 16 April at 5pm, with a second event for 12-16 year olds taking place at 5.45pm. For participants over 16, there are two events on Sunday, 17 April at 11am and 2pm, with all four challenges guaranteed to generate loads of muck and mayhem for the hundreds of participants expected to enter, which involves walking, running, falling, wading and diving through obstacles with varying degrees of mud-soaked fun.
Tim McAuley from McVitie’s, says the company is proud to be supporting the work done by Marie Curie, stating: “Marie Curie provide a crucial service to families here, and we’re delighted to be able to help raise vital funds so they can continue to help those facing a terminal illness.”
