Last weekend, a determined team of supporters took on one of the UK’s toughest challenges – Tough Mudder – all in support of The Wilf Ward Family Trust.
Under the team name Wilf’s Dream Makers, these everyday heroes tackled mud, obstacles, electric shocks, ice baths, and endless hills to raise vital funds for our work supporting people with complex care needs to live full, independent lives.
It was more than just a physical challenge. It was a show of resilience and passion – qualities that reflect the heart of our Trust. Our team trained for months, pushed past their limits, and supported each other every step of the way – embodying the spirit of what we aim to do every day for the people we support.
Thanks to their incredible efforts and the generosity of our community, Wilf’s Dream Makers have so far raised over £660, with donations still coming in. Every penny raised goes directly to enhancing the lives of people we support – funding meaningful activities, accessible equipment, and experiences that empower individuals to achieve their dreams.
We’re incredibly proud of each and every member of the team. Here’s what a few of them had to say:
“It was tough, but a very fun experience, made even better by supporting a great cause” – John Bell
“I loved it and wanted to get muddier. I can’t wait until I’m old enough to do the big course” – Alexa, 9 (2nd time Wilf Ward Family Trust fundraiser!)
A huge thank you to everyone who donated, cheered us on, and helped make this challenge a success. And to our incredible Dream Makers – you truly lived up to your name.
Feeling inspired? We’re always looking for more people to join our fundraising efforts. Whether you want to run, bake, or host your own event, we’d love to support you every step of the way. Head to our Fundraising Page to find out more, or email: fundraising@wilfward.org.uk.
Together, we can continue to make Wilf and Phyllis Ward’s dream – of a world where everyone is valued, included, and empowered – a reality.
