Some of the money raised, which tops £2,000, will also go towards improving the garden at MHA Stratton House in Park Lane.
Amy Jacobs, Emily Millns, Cosmin Dranceanu, Aniz Damani, Fleur Preedy, Jake Grant, Louise Gascoigne, Milly Yiend and Anne Head were joined by their loved ones to take part in the Tough Mudder challenge at the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire last month.
Tough Mudder creates hardcore obstacle courses in either a 5k or 15k format designed to test strength, stamina, and mental grit.
In total, 15 people took part to raise funds for the home.
Harriet Law, the home’s administration manager, who went along on the day to show her support, said: “Having done the challenge last year, I know just how challenging and gruelling it can be, so all the participants deserve a lot of credit and praise.
“Thankfully all of them want to do it again, with the majority wanting to push themselves and do the 15k course, so we are already planning on getting a team for next year.
“We are over the moon with the figure we have reached already and have absolutely smashed the target we had set.
“The money will go a long way in getting the garden spruced up so the residents can continue to enjoy it amongst other trips and activities.
“On behalf of everyone at MHA Stratton House, I want to thank everyone who took part in the challenge, those who came on the day to show their support, and also everyone who contributed to the amount raised.”
