CoolKit prove they can overcome obstacles

Women from CoolKit know cancer plays dirty - and so did they.

Two women from Accrington joined fellow staff at the Burnley refrigerated van conversion company by taking part in Pretty Muddy - a 5K muddy obstacle course that participants can climb over, crawl under, and charge through - at Moor Park in Preston.

Participants included Marketing Manager Loredana Emmerson, Finance Manager Gillian Hayes, Logistics Co-Ordinator Charlotte Lee, Production Manager Alicia Threlfall, Business Development Manager at CVS Refrigeration Colette Mallabourn and daughter Paige.

All the women, who are from the East Lancashire area, had personal reasons for taking part and raising money for Cancer Research UK.

So far, they have raised a total of £722.50, thanks to sponsorship from colleagues, suppliers and customers of the Farrington Place business.

Colette, who is from Accrington, said: “It was a fun day to spend as a team outside of work. We all stuck together and help each other along the course.

“We were absolutely covered in mud by the end of it!

“We’d like to say thank you to CoolKit and CVS Refrigeration for their support, as well as suppliers and customers who were very generous in their donations.”

Colette said she hopes that the group will take part in more charity events throughout the year. To donate, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/coolkit-ladies
