At MNHQ, we like a good challenge. And without sounding too sanctimonious, we also like to help a good cause - and if it's a cause that we know the discerning Mumsnet masses would approve of, it's even better. That's why when Refuge got in touch asking if anyone from Mumsnet wanted to create a team to take part in Mudderella, we leapt at the chance (after finishing our 
and 
).
On August 30, a crack team from MNHQ will be running possibly ambling towards the end a 5-7 mile obstacle course to raise money for Refuge. Our mildly Herculean and completely lovely team consists of (drum roll please): StuartMumsnet, ZoeMumsnet, RachelCMumsnet, TinaMumsnet, KateSMumsnet and MichelleMumsnet.
Refuge do fantastic work helping woman and children who have experienced domestic violence; you can read more about their work here.
So if you can (and as ever, please only if you can afford it), we'd be over the moon if you could contribute to our fundraising here. We'd be hugely grateful for any sum, however small.
If you aren't able to donate (and we do completely understand that it's not always possible), then we're also very much in the market for messages of support, motivational GIFs, MNHQ avatars constructed from emoticons, and (almost) anything else - so as ever please use this thread as you see fit...
With the power of Mumsnet behind us, going down a giant slide into a pit of muddy water won't be scary at all.
Thanks and HWURGH
