Mudder 1BLACKBALL Media MD James Baggott has raised £560 for Great Ormond Street Hospital by completing a gruelling Tough Mudder challenge.

Baggott tackled the event on Saturday alongside Mitsubishi sales and marketing director, Toby Marshall, and corporate sales manager Dan Pigot.

Tough Mudder is a 12-mile special forces-designed assault course which saw the team tackle obstacles called ‘Arctic Enema’, essentially a skip filled with iced water, and ‘Electric Shock Treatment’, curtains of charged cables that give competitors a nasty shock.

‘I’m very fortunate to have happy and healthy daughters, but there are many parents who aren’t so lucky. Hopefully this cash will go towards helping them.’
