Congratulations to the
16 members of FCC
Environment’s workforce
who were able to complete
the demanding
10-kilometre WolfRun
through woodland, open
spaces, lakes, and
full-on mud obstacles to
raise funds for a charity.
They collected more than 1,600 pounds for
the Lullaby Trust (formerly, the Foundation
for the Study of Infant Death (FSID), an or-
ganization that provides specialised support
services for affected families.
Stuart Mitchell, senior engineering manager,
and his team (Abigail Bridge, Andrea Patrick,
Dan Osborne, David Uren, Delvis Firth, Inge
Flowers, Mark Lancaster, Mat Nicholson,
Matthew Armstrong, Matthew Hayes, Paul
Dumpleton, Robin Tucker, Russell Bromage,
Sarah Henderson and Zoe Flanagan) parti-
cipated in the run in remembrance of Ella,
Stuart’s daughter who died four years ago.
In 2009, the Stuart’s family suffered the
sudden and unexplained death of Ella, their
8-week old daughter. The Lullaby Trust gave
the considerable support during those diffi-
cult times. Stuart, by participating in this fun-
draising initiative tried to reciprocate since he
hast first-hand knowledge of the importance
of these services for families who have been
affected by this tragedy.
The group tackled a series of difficult obsta-
cles; running, climbing, jumping, wading and
16 FCC Environment employees
overcome great challenges in a charity
fundraising campaign
swimming through a very demanding route
and more than succeeded in this endeavour.
Stuart thanked the sponsors and expressed
his opinion on the WolfRun: “We behaved
liked kids and, despite being covered with
mud, we laughed throughout the entire run.
We’ll be signing up against next year, so join
us: the more we are, the muddier we’ll be”
he said.
