THRILLSEEKING fundraisers will be knee-deep in mud when they tackle a 10km obstacle course for an East Oxford hospice.
A team from Helen and Douglas House in Magdalen Road are preparing to take on next month’s gruelling Monster Race.
Staff across all departments at the hospice have come together to raise cash by completing the course through Charlbury’s Cornbury Park on April 18.
Senior community and activities fundraiser Poppy Hanbury said: “We are just trying to make as much money as we can for the charity that we very much love. Because we all work within the building, we see from day to day what goes on and the importance of fundraising.”

The team will have to battle their way through barbed wire crawls, climbing walls, pools of mud and water, as well as hay bale pyramids and deep ditches. Staff and volunteers care for terminally ill children, young adults and their families.
