THANKS to some hard work by the Owen Buchanan Builders team the Benarty Fundraisers have received a major boost.

Employees and family members took part in a Tough Mudder Event in Edinburgh and their fantastic commitment has seen over £1,000 raised for the Fundraisers.

The Tough Mudder challenge took place on Saturday August 25 at Holyrood Park, in Edinburgh. Team OBB had a competition time of just over one hour to do the 5K obstacle and running course.

Team OBB was made up of Owen Buchanan, Lee Buchanan, Charli Glancey, Gemma Jack, Aaron Jack, Kirstin Campbell, Allan Campbell, Michael Murray, Kriss Fairbairn, Michael McLauglin, Jay Hodge, Stewart Flemming, Brian Moore, Bobby Wilson and Craig Temple.

The total raised was an amazing £1285 which delighted the Fundraisers who went to the OBB yard to thank the Mudders!

Team OBB has asked if the money could be used specifically to help with the many children's events the Fundraisers host throughout the year.

Chair Ann-Marie thanked them and said: "This was a tremendous effort by the OBB team and we thank them for their great generosity and the magnificent effort they must have put in to complete this gruelling event as a team".
