A GROUP of colleagues from a Clent special school ended up a bit muddy after taking on the Wolf Run challenge.

Five staff members of Sunfield residential special school, who all work as part of the care team on Sunfield’s Acorns Residential House, completed the 10k off-road run in Warwickshire recently.

The challenge featured a series of man-made and natural obstacles including lake swims, mud pits, fallen trees, boggy ground, ditches, hills and dense foliage.

Patsy Hand, senior care support worker, said: “It was tough but we stuck together on route, it was a real team effort and we laughed the whole way, as scary and tiring as it was.”

She was joined in the challenge by fellow staff members Sue Corrado, Rachel Chambers, Agnes Stephens and Jessica Lewis.

Georgina Forrest, Sunfield’s partnership development manager, said: “A much deserved well done goes to Team Acorns.

“By stepping out of their comfort zone and slipping and sliding about in the mud pits, the team has raised a superb amount of close to £500 for the children and young people with complex needs that we provide specialised care and education for.”
