Muddy <strong>May</strong>hem to Help Armed Forces Families If you fancy a fun day out with the kids this summer, The Royal British Legion has got just the thing. Muddy <strong>May</strong>hem is a brand new family mud challenge raising money for the Armed Forces Community. On 14 July, Muddy <strong>May</strong>hem will be at The National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham. Kids aged 6+ and big kids (responsible adults) are being challenged to work together to walk, jog or even crawl around the 2 mile obstacle course, with food and exciting activities waiting for them at the finish line. Matthew Rogers, Event Manager at the Legion, told <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, “We’ve packed the course with great obstacles that will have you whizzing down mud slides and splashing through mud pits, and if you’re feeling full of beans you can do a second lap. Muddy <strong>May</strong>hem is a really fun way for kids to team up with the grown-ups to raise money for Armed Forces families who need our help. Registration is only £15 for adults and £10 for kids, with a fundraising target of £150 per team. The money raised could help fund a holiday for an Armed Forces family at one of the Legion’s inspiring Break Centres which give Armed Forces families a week of fun and memorable experiences, providing much needed respite for guests who have often never been on holiday together.
