For once, we left the Black and Amber behind, and embraced pink!
The ladies brought their pink power to @tilgateparkcrawley for @crukraceforlife mud run! 5k of mud, slopes, water, more mud, more water and a whole barrel of laughs
It was emotional, powerful and bloody brilliant and to cap it all off, the Ladies were the top fundraisers for the race. Shout out to Clo for her amazing work raising so much money…. a cause so close to her and her partner Frances’ heart #proud
